A mom from San Bernardino, California was arrested after her son accessed an unsecured firearm and accidentally shot and killed his twin brother. The mother, 45-year-old Gabriela Keeton, was contacted and immediately taken into custody after the incident occurred.

KTLA Reports:

Officers responded to the 900 block of East Central Avenue around 7:30 p.m. Monday, where they found the pre-teen with a gunshot wound, according to a San Bernardino Police Department news release.

The boy died after being transported to a local hospital. He was not immediately identified.

Keeton was booked into jail on suspicion of child cruelty resulting in possible injury or death, inmate records showed. She is being held on $100,000 bail.

This is such an unfortunate situation and is something that a 12 year old boy should not have to go through. Gun owners please make sure your guns are secured and is not accessible to any child. These accidents are tragedies that can be prevented. Let us keep the family in our prayers as they go through this difficult lost. And now you’re officially in the KNOW!
