A preschool-age child in Troy, Michigan shot himself after finding a gun in the console of his mother’s Ford Mustang, the Detroit Free Press reported on Friday.
According to the paper, while his mother loaded groceries into her car in a Kroger parking lot, the child found the 9 mm Smith and Wesson and shot himself in the side. The wound was not fatal and the child is out of surgery, Troy Police Captain Robert Redmond told the Free Press.
Redmond said that it was unclear whether the gun was left in the car by the boy’s mother or her husband, but that “she’s still responsible for the child’s safety.”
He reported that police plan to present a warrant request to county prosecutors for “some type of charge,” which may be careless and reckless use of a firearm.
how about reckless endangerment of a minor for starter, you have to wonder do the parents leaving loaded, unlocked guns just lying around really ever consider their child as they are putting in down obviously within the kids reach?????????????? with all the stories of this same dynamic you would think more responsible people wouldn't expose a loaded weapon to children are vthesevthe a+ rated owners by NRA???? JUST AKING
