According to police in Pennsylvania, a 4-year-old girl died after her younger brother accidentally shot her inside a parked vehicle at a gas station. According to Chester Police, a 2-year-old boy was “handling a gun inside a vehicle” when it ‘went off.’

According to CBS Philadelphia, the shooting took place outside of the Eagle Save Mart in Chester on Tuesday. The relatives live nearby and shops at the mini mart.

A single bullet was heard from inside the vehicle, which was situated near a gas pump. The four-year-old girl was airlifted to Crozer-Chester Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Authorities did not identify the girl or boy, but the children were siblings, according to NBC News and the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Family members gathered outside the hospital Tuesday afternoon to await a notification on the girl’s situation and became emotional when officials confirmed her death, according to the station.

According to witnesses, the children’s father was outside of the car when a 2-year-old boy was handling a gun inside the vehicle and it discharged, according to officials. The bullet hit a 4-year-old girl who was sitting inside.

Officers on the scene quickly rushed her to the hospital, which is about a half-mile away. Witnesses to the tragedy stated that the young kids were always with their father.

“It was a morning ritual, I’d see them every morning,” Theodore Thaddeus Crump said. “He was a good dude. He went to work every day. He kept his kids right there beside him. It’s the number one thing that he did, OK. Their dad was a very beautiful man.”

The investigation is still going on.
