Chaplains were also on scene consoling the family. According to one of the chaplains, the mother was sleeping, heard a pop and found her son shot.
"Please, please lock those guns up, go and get a lock, put it somewhere locked up so that these children cannot get ahold of these guns," said Malcolm Hunt, chaplain.
An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.
