An 18-month-old boy was critically injured in the head when his five-year-old sister fired an airgun at him as their father answered a phone call.

West Midlands Police said the “tragic accident” happened in the family’s garden in Washwood Heath, Birmingham.

Their grandfather said the girl used the airgun after their father, who was using it for target practice, left it loaded and turned his back.

The boy, Rashid Rullah, was taken to Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
