BATON ROUGE — A two-year-old girl has died after she was rushed to a hospital in Baton Rouge for a gunshot wound to the chest and a 21-yr-old has been arrested.
It comes after East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s deputies and EMS responded to a shooting around 1:45 p.m. on Oct. 26 on Kennesaw Dr. off George O’neal Rd. in Baton Rouge. This is in the Shenandoah area of the city.
Early reports are that the two-year-old girl shot herself in the chest Thursday afternoon.
