Officers were called to the 1800 block of South Garvin Street around 8:45 Sunday night after reports of shots fired.
Once Officers secured the scene they learned that a juvenile had been playing with a gun when it accidentally went off striking them.
The child was taken to the hospital for treatment, but succumbed to their injuries.
EPD Sgt. Anna Gray says she is not sure how the child got the gun or where the gun came from.
