A further 18 injured themselves, while 10 injured other people.
At least two killed others after firing a weapon.
The Washington Postsifted through news reports and found 43 instances of someone being shot by a toddler aged 3 or younger.
Remarkably, one case involved a 21-month-old child who killed himself after finding a loaded handgun at home.
In that case, the child fired the handgun into his torso area resulting in fatal wounds. His mother took him to the local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Some 40 of the 43 cases involved male toddlers, three involved females.
And while the list is relatively diverse geographically, many of the states with most occurrences of shootings are in southern and mid-western states.
Missouri had five incidents, while South Carolina and North Carolina had three apiece.
The law around the secure storage of weapons in America remains inconsistent, with most states lacking specific restrictions.
