A teenage boy and a man have been charged after a nine-year-old was killed when he was accidentally shot in the neck on a rural property.
Emergency services were called to a property in Windellama, south of Goulburn in NSW, about 11.20am on Sunday by reports of a shooting, police said.
When officers attached to the Hume police district arrived, they were told a nine-year-old boy had been injured after the accidental discharge of a firearm.
A police spokesperson said the child had been treated for serious neck injuries by NSW ambulance paramedics but he had died at the scene.
Police set up a strike force to investigate and later arrested a 14-year-old boy and a 33-year-old man.
The teen was charged with possessing an unauthorised firearm, investigators said on Monday. He was granted conditional bail to appear at a children’s court on 16 May.
The man was charged with allowing an unauthorised person to possess a firearm and failing to keep a firearm safely. He is due to appear before Goulburn local court on 14 May.
