Neighbor’s Dad Charged In 6-Year-Old’s Shooting Death

The New Jersey father of a 4-year-old by who shot his six-year-old friend has been charged with possession of multiple unsecured weapons accessible to children.

The Atlantic County prosecutor’s office announced Monday that Anthony Senatore, 33, has been charged with six counts of child endangerment and a disorderly person’s offense for enabling access by minors to a loaded firearm.

Senatore’s son and 6-year-old Brandon Holt were playing in their neighborhood April 8 when the 4-year-old got a loaded .22-caliber rifle from his family’s home and shot Brandon in the head, authorities said. The boys were about 15 yards apart.

Brandon died at a hospital a day later.
