4 year old who was supposedly shot dead by her brother was actually killed by their father

Remember yesterday we reported that a four-year-old girl was fatally shot in the face inside the family’s Philadelphia residence? Well, her father Maurice Phillips, 30, confessed to shooting her by accident.

The girl, whose name has not been released, was shot around 2.25pm on Saturday and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police investigating the shooting originally said that the youngster had been shot by her five-year-old brother.

The father fled the house after the shooting but later in the evening, he turned himself in to a police station and confessed to killing the child. He told officers that he had been playing with the gun and it had gone off accidentally, WNCN reports.

Police say a semiautomatic pistol was recovered inside the home.

Philips is now facing charge
