Cook Children's Medical Center is urging parents to lock up their firearms as they recorded a significant increase in the number of gun-related injuries among kids.
The situation comes as school is out and children are spending more time at home, which is considered one of the factors for the development. In just the first half of this year, Cook Children's has already treated 40 firearm injuries, which is nearing the total of 60 for the whole of last year.
