Police say the deceased’s five-year-old brother found a gun and fired it shortly after noon on Sunday. The type of gun has not yet been revealed.

No one else was hurt according to investigators who conducted interviews to determine whether the shooting was accidental.

A police spokesperson told DailyMail.com that the five-year-old boy’s parents would not face punishment on Monday.

‘It has been determined that there will be no charges filed at this time. It’s a very unfortunate situation that occurred,’ a spokesperson told DailyMail.com.

The home on the 7700 block of Greengage Drive was initially surrounded by police car units at around 3.15pm on Sunday.

Later they blocked the street and cordoned-off the two story house where Albright’s family lived by 5.50pm.

One neighbor, Larry Davison, who lives several houses down said he had never spoken to the people that lived in the property.
He claimed to often see two boys playing outside.

Davison said the last time emergency vehicles were on the street was when a house caught fire five-years-ago.
Guns are the second leading cause of death for American children and teenagers, according to nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety.
Nearly 1,700 children and teens are killed by gun homicide every year. For children under the age of 13, these frequently happen in the home.

Black children and teens are 14 times more likely than white children and teens of the same age to die by gun homicide, they wrote.

Buhari Condoles with Musiliu Smith over elder brother’s death

SPN calls for probe of Abuja collapsed building) has blamed the refuse disposal crisis in Lagos State on the profit motive of refuse management of the government. It described the award of the contract to Visionscape under the “Cleaner Lagos Initiative” as a consolidation of the neo-liberal policies of the privatisation of refuse management that guaranteed huge profit for a few while public funds were mostly frittered away. The position of the party is contained in a statement signed by Rufus Olusesan (Chairman) and Shoyombo M.K (Publicity Secretary). “Refuse management is carried out within the context of profit and not to meet the needs of the people. No wonder refuse disposal is a big problem considering the fact that refuse heaps have doted different areas of Lagos with its attendant health hazards despite huge public resources and funds committed into waste management in Lagos State. “Some communities and many residents have not had their refuse picked for more than a month and in some cases, for more than 2 months leaving heaps of refuse that litter the neighbourhoods, yet, on monthly basis, residents pay refuse disposal fees which is being collected by the PSP or company’s agents. “Refuse remains everywhere in the state while ‘defaulters’ are taken before a special court for trial for non-payment,” the party said. It added that just less than one year of operations, Visionscape through another front company known as Standard Street Manpower Limited illegally sacked at least 20 truck drivers in June 2018. It said sweepers were paid a ridiculous wage of N18,500. The payment, the party said, was not even regular. “It is the primary responsibility of the Local Government to manage/dispose refuse. According to Section 1(h) of the Fourth Schedule of the 1999 Constitution, ‘The main function of the Local Government is the provision and maintenance of public convenience, sewage and refuse disposal.’ Hence, the Lagos State creation of LAWMA, PSP and now Visionscape is unconstitutional and is aimed at shortchanging the people/public. “The ruling elite in Lagos State has always clamoured for resource control and true federalism but at the same time deprived the local government of its independence and funding. “Besides, the local governments have been made to only exist to collect tax and levies with no responsibility to the people with the corruption at that level just like the state and the federal government,” SPN stated.
