Cass County conservation officer Brenda Louthain, who investigated the incident, said the older girl was taken to Logansport Memorial Hospital after being shot by her 11-year-old sister shortly before 10:30am Saturday morning.
The girls' parents were not at home at the time of the incident.

When asked what happened, Louthain said the 11-year-old told officials she was "playing CSI," referring to the popular crime TV show.
The shot girl's condition was not reported. Investigations were continuing, but authorities said they were treating the incident as an accident.
