5-year-old Shot by Twin Brother

Monday, around 10:30 pm, 5-year-old Jonathan Jackson, was (allegedly) shot to death by his twin brother, in the Lawndale neighborhood. The boys were playing with a loaded handgun in an apartment on the 700 block of south California Avenue.

The 5-year-old was shot in the stomach. He was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he later died.

"They were in the house playing cops and robbers and found the little gun. It's really sad, that's my love, that's my heart. They're babies, they didn't know any better. He's in heaven right now," said the boys' aunt, Tameka Patterson.

Chicago police are still investigating the shooting. See WGN's news coverage after the jump.
