Authorities said Vanessa Underwood was shot in the chest with a pellet gun and died Sunday afternoon at a local hospital. Fort Payne Police Chief David Walker told The Huntsville Times she was shot by her 6-year-old brother. "It's devastating. You can't really hold anybody responsible...it happens," Fort Payne resident David Houle told WAFF-TV. DeKalb County sheriff's investigators said the shooting was accidental and no charges were immediately filed. Resident Sheryl Long told WAFF, "I never would have never thought a little girl would have died from a BB shot." Quote
