Chicago dad charged after boy, 6, shoots and kills brother, 3, playing 'cops and robbers'

Michael Santiago needed a gun.

He was a former gang member who had snitched on his old crew and now feared for his life. So Santiago purchased a pistol on the street and kept it in the kitchen just in case.

Whether he needed to show his 6-year-old son the weapon, however, is something that will likely haunt Santiago for the rest of his life.
