ATLANTA - The 13-year-old Alabama boy accidentally shot in the face at a Gwinnett County gun show has died. <br>

Stephen Bray King, of Prattville, Alabama, died just before noon Monday at Scottish Rite Children's Hospital in Atlanta. <br>

Stephen was shot around noon Sunday at the Eastman Gun Show at the North Atlanta Trade Center. It is not clear how the shooting happened or whose gun -- a point-38 caliber revolver -- was involved. <br>
<br>
The boy and his father -- 38-year-old Anthony Grant -- were attending the gun show. <br>

Grant said his son was standing on his left side and facing a vendor's counter when the gun was fired. They were looking at holsters when he heard the shot. <br>

Officials say a single bullet from a handgun struck the boy in his right eye and lodged in his brain. <br>

Gwinnett County police spokesman Ray Dunlap said detectives are still investigating the incident to determine whether charges will be filed.
