POSTED: Monday, April 13, 2009UPDATED: 5:52 pm CDT April 13, 2009MEDINA COUNTY, Texas -- [/b]The parents of a 3-year-old boy who was shot and killed Sunday may face charges in connection with his death, said Medina County Sheriff Randy Brown.Xavier Ortiz was in a room inside a mobile home with other children when he was shot with a Glock .40 handgun about 3:30 p.m., near the Valley View subdivision south of Castroville, Texas, Brown said. Xavier was rushed to a hospital in Hondo, where he was pronounced dead at 4:11 p.m."I mean, what do you do at this point, to these people," Brown said. "You can't do nothing to them. Do i believe they need to be held accountable? Yeah."Xavier was inside the home with four or five other children waiting for adults to hide Easter candy, the sheriff said, when those outside heard the gunfire from inside the home. The parents, Javier and Aguero Ortiz, both in their 20s, could face improper gun storage charges, Brown said."A senseless crime, these things can be avoided and we hear about them too often," Brown said.Sheriff's investigators, along with child advocates, are interviewing the other children in the room at the time of the shooting to find out the circumstances of the shooting. Funeral arrangements for the boy are currently pending.
Update, 4:06 p.m.: After conducting interviews with the children in the room, Brown said Xavier jumped on the bed, exposing the gun that was underneath a pillow. It is unknown how the gun went off, but Brown said Xavier was holding the gun when he was shot.
