A toddler died on Wednesday night after finding a gun and accidentally shooting himself in the chest, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.

According to deputies, the boy's parents were moving out of their house in the 1000 block of Misty Hollow Lane in Tarpon Springs just before 5 p.m. when 2-year-old Kaleb Ahles entered their car.

Kevin Ahles, 23, the child's father, had left a .380 caliber handgun secured in the vehicle, deputies said.

Kaleb was alone inside the car when the family heard a loud popping sound. Deputies said the toddler located the gun in the glove box of the car and and shot himself in the chest.

"He probably barely got the trigger pulled, but it was enough to fire the gun and kill him," said Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri.

The boys parents immediately ran to the vehicle. His mother, 23-year-old Christina Nigro, began CPR while family members on scene called 911.

Ahles was transported to Trinity Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

"There's plenty of witnesses to corroborate that Kaleb was in the car by himself," said Sheriff Gualtieri. "There's no indication of criminal activity, no indication of any foul play other than it is what I described to you as a tragedy."

No charges are expected to be filed.

"Sometimes bad things happen," Sheriff Gualtieri said.
