News and Record further to our report at the time of the incident.
Authorities will wait to be sure a toddler has recovered from his injuries sustained in an accidental shooting with his parents’ gun before they decide if charges will be filed.
“We want to make sure the child is out of the woods,” Hill said. “He’s scheduled to have surgery later this week for a broken jaw.
“We want to make sure he continues to improve,” Hill said. “We’ll wait until the conclusion of the investigation to determine if charges will be filed.”
The 2-year-old found a gun in his parents’ bedroom Saturday afternoon and picked it up. Capt. Derrick Hill of the Randolph County Sheriff’s office said the gun went off and hit the child in the face.
They've got it ass-backwards. The gun owners should have been in jail the night of the incident. I don't understand this waiting to see if the kid is out of the woods first before deciding if charges will be be brought. Charges should be brought immediately upon determining who the responsible person is.
