A northwest Atlanta neighborhood was shaken Monday afternoon when a 7-year-old boy somehow got his hands on a loaded gun and shot himself in the leg.

The shooting happened around 4 p.m. on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive NW. Medics have confirmed that the boy was rushed to the hospital immediately. The child’s current condition is out of danger and he is expected to recover.

What’s still unclear is how exactly the child accessed the firearm. Was it left unattended? Did he find it hidden somewhere?

Authorities have not disclosed who owns the firearm or how the child was able to access it.

As the investigation continues, officials have not announced if any charges will be filed. For now, the focus remains on the child’s recovery
