Shocking video captured the moment a 3-year-old Florida girl shot herself with a handgun — while a relative celebrated a football touchdown on TV.
The chilling footage posted by WPLG shows Serenity picking up the pistol at her home in Miami Dade on Saturday after Orlando Young, 23, jumped up during the game.
A bang is immediately heard in the footage and the toddler is hurt.
“It looks as if she is getting ready to pick up the gun, the gun went off and I guess the bullet went through her finger,” Serenity’s grandmother, Robin Fuller, told the outlet.
“The police arrived because I called the police myself when I received the phone call and eventually the police arrived and they asked, ‘Where is the baby?’” she said.
Fuller said Serenity was supposed to be under the care of her other grandmother, who was not seen in the video at the time of the incident.
Young told police he had made breakfast for the girl and then watched over her, CBS News Miami reported, adding that he was a relative of the hurt girl.

I hope she didn’t interrupt their deranged viewing
But now she can claim street cred.
Let that sink in.
Democrats would DEFEND his "right to vote".
Forget it Jake, It’s Dade County.
We’re not under assault from by the gun grabbers. We’re under assault from stupidity. Idiocracies cannot survive.
It would have been more poetic if little Serenity had launched that bullet through Orlando’s brain pan.
Musta been a mighty small bullet.
Thank God the child is ok.
Surprise, surprise, surprise. I wonder if they are going to get a liberal Democrat lawyer to sue the gun manufacturer? They could get a sympathetic jury in Winston County, Mississippi.
God was looking out for her because dummy wasn’t.
The girl ran straight for the gun, like it was her favorite toy. I doubt it was her first time seeing it.
Priorities. Walkin’ around with a laptop in one hand, and his dick in the other...gots ta keep track of dat. I count three dogs in the video. I wonder if they ever jump up on the couch.
It’s all been cleared up. It was an easy mistake to make, The little girl was going to go for a stroll to buy some candy and medical marijuana for her grandmother... She thought she had picked up her own airsoft sidearm which she uses for protection. But she accidentally picked up her cousin’s Glock. The trigger resistance had been set lighter than her airsoft pistol so it accidentally discharged. It could have happened to any three year old. I don’t think that she should be punished as long as the Glock wasn’t damaged.
Is the person laying on the sofa in a coma or passed out on drugs? They don’t appear to move at all after the gun is fired and the child injured.
“ A gun doesn’t “go off”. The trigger was pulled. ”
As in the Alec Baldwin case.
Yes indeed...
Multiple times in multiple states...
They call me Stubby or Lefty...
Poor gun safety and poor training all the way around here.
Luckily it wasn’t Sunday’s Dolphins game where they scored 10 touchdowns.
