Six-Year-Old Shoots Himself at Home

A six-year-old boy shot himself in the leg after finding a gun at home, sending shockwaves through Winter Haven. His mother, Nicole Felippe, found him bleeding after her shower and rushed him to the hospital without calling 911 — a decision that would later cost her dearly. The father, who returned home to find blood and an unfamiliar handgun, didn’t call police either. Doctors confirmed a fractured tibia from a bullet that entered his thigh and exited his shin. Investigators faced a locked door, but a judge granted a warrant — leading to the discovery of suspected cannabis, a scale, and a glass pipe in what appeared to be the mother’s bedroom. Felippe now faces serious charges: child neglect causing great bodily harm, drug possession, and paraphernalia — all stemming from a tragic moment that began with a child’s curiosity and ended with a gun.
