The victim's 15-year-old brother initially told emergency dispatchers about 11:30 a.m. that his brother -- identified Monday as Suhayb Jamal Hassan -- was running with a knife inside their home, fell and accidentally stabbed himself, said police detective Desiree Schroepfer, a department spokeswoman. Police officers, firefighters, and HealthEast Paramedics arrived and attempted life saving measures, but unfortunately the victim, Suhayb Hassan, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police initially described the incident as "suspicious," and after questioning, the 15-year-old admitted to investigators that he had accidentally shot his brother, Schroepfer said. Investigators said the boys recently had learned that their father owned a handgun and kept it in the home in the 1700 block of Silver Bell Circle. While home alone with their eleven year old sister, the boys found the hidden 9 mm pistol which was unloaded. Advertisement 
 
 The handgun was unloaded, but a loaded magazine was nearby. At some point, the firearm was loaded then thought to be unloaded 
 
 by one of the boys where they then began to chase each other while playing “cops and robbers”. The 15-year-old pulled the trigger and unintentionally fired one round toward his brother, Schroepfer said. Only one round was fired, which struck Suhayb in the chest. The sister was uninjured and did not witness the shooting, police said. No one is in custody at this time and we do not anticipate any future arrests. Although this appears to be a horrible accident, upon completion of this investigation, the facts we gather will be presented to the Dakota County Attorney’s Office for review.
– Two brothers playing with their dad's handgun ended with the younger accidentally dead at the hands of the older in a game of "cops and robbers" gone horrifically wrong. As the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports, 13-year-old Suhayb Jamal Hassan, his 15-year-old brother, and an 11-year-old sister were at their home in the Minneapolis suburb of Eagan on Sunday morning when the boys found their dad's unloaded 9mm pistol, with ammunition nearby. "They began to play with the gun and sometime during the incident the gun was loaded and then believed to have been unloaded by one of the boys," an Eagan detective says, per KARE. The 15-year-old boy pretended to shoot Suhayb, but the gun was loaded and went off, striking Suhayb in the chest. The older boy called 911, telling them at first that Suhayb had accidentally fallen on a knife; he later admitted that he'd accidentally shot Suhayb. Emergency responders pronounced the boy dead at the scene. "We do not anticipate any future arrests," says the city of Eagan in a statement. It adds that while an investigation is being conducted, the case "appears to be a horrible accident." "It's so sad," says a neighbor. "You hear about this happening a lot ... kids playing with guns."
