Police were investigating how the boy got the gun. They say the father was home at the time.
The shooting came less than a week after a 5-year-old boy died after shooting himself in the head with a handgun inside his father's vehicle outside a Las Vegas pharmacy. That father, 31-year-old Alex Kopystenski, has been charged with felony child endangerment.
