A teenage girl died Wednesday morning after accidentally shooting herself with a gun, according to Kansas City police.
At 8:46 a.m., officers responded to calls of a possible accidental shooting in the 4500 block of Agnes Avenue, said Officer Donna Drake, a spokeswoman for the department.
Police discovered a girl between the ages of 10 and 15 years old, who was in critical condition and suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
She was transported to an area hospital by emergency medical personnel. The girl was declared dead shortly after.
The case remains an active investigation, Drake said.
