"A Wilson County child has died after accidentally shooting herself Sunday evening.
Ashe said the girl’s stepfather had taken out his gun to try to frighten off dogs that had been hanging around the home.
The child had been playing a Nintendo Wii video game, Ashe said. The game’s controller was shaped like a gun that looked very similar to the real handgun, which her stepfather had put on a table in the living room. Ashe said the girl pulled the gun off the table and it went off.
The girl’s parents were at home at the time of the shooting, the sheriff said.
Ashe said the shooting is under investigation, and that no charges have been filed."
