New Jersey Dad Arrested for Accidentally Shooting 2-Year-old Son

SF Gate Aggravated assault charges have been filed against a southern New Jersey man who told authorities that he accidentally shot his 2-year-old son while they and other family members were in a vehicle. Camden County Police say 38-year-old Sergio Rivera of Camden was also charged with child endangerment, drug possession and weapons offenses. Authorities learned of the shooting late Tuesday, when they were called to the hospital where the boy was being treated for left arm and left leg wounds. But they say Rivera did not cooperate with detectives when they questioned him about the shooting.
