A man charged Friday in the accidental shooting of a toddler in January originally told police the gun just fired – he didn’t know how.
Rojelio Rubalcada, 24, then said he saw the 3-year-old girl pick up and drop the gun, which is when it fired and hit the girl in the leg.
In court records, the child’s mother told police that Rubalcada said right after the shooting that he had dropped the loaded gun.
