A four-year-old child was shot to death Sunday morning in Huntsville.

Madison County Coroner Tyler Berryhill said the child was pronounced dead shortly after 8 a.m. Sunday at Huntsville Hospital after suffering a gunshot wound at a residence.

Berryhill referred any further questions to Huntsville police. Attempts to reach police for comment were not immediately successful.

An autopsy has been ordered and will be performed this week.

“At this time, the investigation is ongoing into the circumstances surrounding this incident and how these events transpired,” Berryhill said in a statement.
