A man was taken to the hospital after being shot by a young boy in Prospect Friday night.
State Police said the 7-year-old boy accidentally shot his 51-year-old neighbor Anthony Joseph Delucia, in the upper chest. Police said the shooting appears to be accidental, and the weapon used appears to be a small caliber handgun legally registered to Delucia.
The 7-year-old could just as easily have shot himself in the head.
Every time a kid gets ahold of a gun, an adult should be held responsible. In this case, the gun owner should go straight from the hospital to jail.
