An infant died on Monday after being shot in the head by his 5-year-old brother.

The mother of the two children initially told deputies her 5-year-old son shot the infant in the head with a paintball gun. After an ambulance arrived, it was determined the infant had been shot in the head with a .22 caliber magnum revolver.

Nodaway County Sheriff Darren White said the loaded gun had been kept on a shelf which was built into the headboard of the master bed. The infant was found in a crib in the room and law enforcement found the gun nearby.
