Children were unintentionally injured in Indiana and Wisconsin today.

The Indiana shooting occurred in Evansville, where a parent who was unloading his firearm accidentally shot his own six-year old child in the leg.  The round passed through a wall before striking the child.

In Milwaukee, an eight-year old was shot. Police are investigating, but have no suspects.  No other circumstances of the accident are available.  Presumably the child was an innocent bystander.
