A mother is in jail after her 5-year-old son accidentally shot and killed his 4-year-old brother when the two were playing with a gun on Saturday.
Itiyanah Spruill, 22, was arrested after the incident happened inside her New Jersey apartment on Saturday morning. According to the New York Times, Sprill was home when the shooting happened at about 11 a.m.
