A boy has died after shooting himself in the head Monday at a Boy Scout camp in San Diego, officials confirmed.
The 11-year-old shot himself in the head at the camp on Fiesta Island in the middle of Mission Bay, a San Diego police crisis intervention officer told NBC 7. She did not have details on when or where the shooting took place.
The boy was alive as of 7:49 a.m., police said. Officials also said they had secured the firearm involved but would not say where the gun was found. Despite earlier reports that the child was taken to a nearby hospital, a spokesperson for San Diego Fire Rescue said the child was pronounced dead at the camp.
Investigators have blocked off the entrance to the camp and told NBC 7 they are working the scene and will have more details once they're done.
