A 11-year-old boy who was accidentally shot while playing at a friend's home was listed on Sunday in critical but stable condition.
No adults were at home when the shooting took place on Saturday, said Deputy Dawn Hanke, a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman.
At about 11:45 a.m., deputies responded to a shooting at a home in the 2700 block of West Carnauba Street, near West River and North Shannon Roads, Hanke said.
According to the initial investigation, the 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old friend, who lives in the home, were "handing the gun back and forth when the shooting occurred," Hanke said.
She described the gun as a "small-caliber handgun" but could not provide more detail.
A third child was in the home at the time, Hanke said.
Officials did not release any more information.
