Rodney March II has been charged with one count of endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree.
St. Louis County police say he left a loaded .40 caliber glock within reach of his 3-year-old son, Rodney March III, who shot himself in head.
Officers tried to save his life but the child was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The three-year-old boy was home with both parents at the time.
Rodney march III is one of many children who have lost their lives due to an unintended shooting death.
Parents are not always charged when their children find and use a gun, even if it results in death.
Just 27 states and the District of Columbia have laws regulating children's access to guns and only 15 of those states impose criminal punishment on people who store firearms negligently.
