Fresno police reported that Sanchez and other roommates attempted to take Mina to the hospital themselves before first responders intervened. Sanchez, who has no prior criminal record, was later arrested and charged with negligent storage of a firearm and felony child endangerment. He has since been released on bail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s heartbreaking to think a toddler could gain access to a loaded weapon and have the strength to fire it,\u201d said Lt. Paul Cervantes during a press conference. Police revealed that the firearm had been left in an accessible location, making it easy for the child to reach. The incident underscores the dangers of improper firearm storage and the devastating consequences of negligence.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5043\" src=\"https:\/\/mgdmedia.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-12-13-at-17.15.30_76069a5b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mgdmediaug.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-12-13-at-17.15.30_76069a5b.jpg 634w, https:\/\/mgdmediaug.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-12-13-at-17.15.30_76069a5b-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mina\u2019s death has left her family and community in shock, prompting renewed calls for stricter gun safety measures.
