Cleveland police chief slams country's 'fascination' with guns Empty Cleveland police chief slams country's 'fascination' with guns

On Sunday afternoon in a two-story home on Cleveland’s East Side, a 3-year-old boy picked up an unattended handgun and shot a 1-year-old boy in the face, police said. Minutes later, the infant was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

“It’s a sad day for Cleveland,” Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams told reporters outside the home later Sunday. “Everybody has to know that this fascination we have with handguns, not just in this city but in this country, has to stop.”

“This is a senseless loss of life in this city again,” he added, “and it’s directly related to guns, and we need to really take a hard look at the things that we’re doing out there on the state, local and the national level to get these guns out of our communities. Nothing good ever happens.”

Williams said the gun was brought into the house and left within the toddler’s reach. The person responsible will probably face charges, he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
