Demargo Smith, the child's father, has been charged with reckless conduct following his daughter's death shortly before 11 a.m., in the apartment on Martin Street SE in Atlanta, Georgia.
His six-year-old daughter, Ja'Mecca Smith, reportedly found the loaded handgun between sofa cushions and fired it at herself.
Major Adam Lee III from the Atlanta Police Department said that police arrived on scene at around 11 a.m. and found Ja'Mecca dead.
It was alleged that the dad fled from the house after the shooting, CBS 46 reported. But returned shortly afterwards for police questioning.
The little girl's heartbroken family, friends and neighbors could be seen breaking down in tears as they clung to each other outside the family's home following news of her death, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
T Police have launched an investigation into the little girl's tragic death.
The child has been taken to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office.
An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
