“I was stunned. Like how can a 2 year old, pull a trigger," Roosevelt Lee said.
Lee works with Promise Keepers. It's a group that works to prevent violence and brings resources to the community.
“They lost, the community lost. Who knows what that child was going to grow up to be," Lee said.
MPD reminds the community to secure firearms with a lock and keep them out of reach of children.
