Andrew Morton had been walking with his brother
A two-year-old boy who was hit in the head with an airgun pellet in Glasgow has died in hospital.
Andrew Morton's death was confirmed shortly after it was announced that a man had been arrested in connection with the incident.
The toddler was hit as he walked with his brother, who was getting chips for the family's dinner.
Police said a 27-year-old man has been arrested and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.
The man is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.
Andrew's condition deteriorated after the incident in Cambusdoon Road in the Easterhouse area of the city on Wednesday evening.
He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary before being transferred to the Southern General, which specialises in head injuries.
A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said: "A 27-year-old man has been arrested and is presently detained in police custody following the incident. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal."
About 40 officers and a ballistics expert were called in to investigate the incident and the shooting of a firefighter at about the same time.
The 34-year-old firefighter was hit by a pellet as his crew attended a report of a kitchen fire in Cambusdoon Road. He was not hurt.
