A 6-year-old girl was fatally shot inside a Dallas home on Wednesday, nearly two weeks after her 14-year-old brother was shot and later died, according to Fox 4 Dallas.
The girl was inside a town home on N. Fitzhugh Avenue in Old East Dallas, off Fuqua Street and Fitzhugh Avenue, when the shooting took place. The home is about two and a half miles north of Downtown Dallas.
The victim was with other juveniles inside the home where there was an unsecured gun, the Dallas Police Department told Fox 4. Police said it is unknown how the child was shot. She was taken to a hospital where she died, and an investigation is ongoing.

The teenage boy, Ah'bralen Rider, was one of two 14-year-old boys shot off Harry Hines Boulevard in Oak Lawn on Dec. 29 at around 4:40 a.m., according to Fox 4.
