Aunesti Lee Allen, from Indianapolis, USA, died at Riley Hospital for Children a few hours after the shooting.

Her mother, Fiona Lee, 26, whose other two children witnessed the shooting, was arrested and charged with child neglect as well as drugs possession. Police are trying to trace the boy and his father Curtis White, 24, who lived with Lee. The two other children are currently being cared for by a relative.

Police said Lee thought the boy may have believed he had picked up a toy gun, many of which were lying around the house.
Lt Jeff Duhamell, from Indianapolis Police Department said: "This is a tragedy that easily could have been avoided. And the sad part is that the other children saw it. Now, there are many lives that have been turned upside down."
