A boy under the age of five was rushed to the hospital after he shot himself with a flare gun in West Little River on Thursday, Miami-Dade Police said.
The child somehow got hold of a flare gun while work was being done on a boat that appeared to be parked in the backyard of a residence on Northwest 103rd Street and Northwest 32nd Place, police said.
It was not immediately clear what kind of work was being done, and if the child was being supervised.
The boy was flown to the hospital in critical condition, police said.
