3-year old kills herself after mistaking gun for Wiimote

Here’s a tragic story that could have been prevented — It seems that a 3-year old girl from Tennessee managed to shoot and kill herself with a loaded .380 caliber pistol that she reportedly thought was a Wiimote. The mother says that the gun was left on a table by the girl’s stepfather who had it to deal with intruders. After placing it on the table he carried about his daily routine and forgot about it.

The 3-year old then picked up the gun and shot herself in the stomach fatally.

Now tell me, 3-year old or not, how do you manage to mistake a gun for a Wiimote and then aim it at yourself and pull the trigger? Sounds fishy to me.
