FIRST ON CBS13: Father Wants Answers After Toddler Allegedly Shoots Herself in South Sacramento Home

SOUTH SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The father of a 2-year-old girl who allegedly shot herself in a South Sacramento home says there are too many holes in the story of how it happened.

Little Aubrey's father says he wants answers and justice for his baby girl.

DeAngelo Mansion is angry, frustrated and heartbroken to see his 2-year-old daughter fighting for her life, and he believes her mother is covering up something.

The toddler was with her mother on Monday afternoon as she was visiting a friend's house in South Sacramento when Aubrey was found shot in the head in one of the bedrooms.

No one has been able to reach her mother since the incident, and the fact detectives have not been able to find that gun is what makes it even more fishy to Mansion.

"That's the biggest question; if it was accidental like her mom says it was why is the gun missing?" he said. "If my daughter was able to pick it up then where is it? She couldn't hide it; it's fishy to me."

He says the mom has a history of neglecting their baby before, and that she was recently evicted and possibly living with that friend and her boyfriend.

Now Aubrey is fighting for her life after multiple surgeries.
