Man Fatally Shot Taking Apart Gun

Houston police say a man had been showing his 13-year-old sister how to take apart a gun when he was fatally shot.

Police on Monday identified the victim as 22-year-old Gregory Higgon.

Investigators did not immediately say who apparently pulled the trigger during the accident Friday night at the victim's home. Authorities initially said they believed the girl was handling the gun when it discharged.

Higgon was transported to a Houston hospital, where he died.

Police did not say who owns the gun. No charges were immediately filed.
