3-Year-Old Shot by Sibling After Finding Loaded Gun in a Drawer

Two St. Louis, Missouri siblings found a loaded handgun in a dresser drawer in their home. One of the children shot the other, age 3. Police took the injured child to the hospital, where he is reported to be in serious condition. Markeith Mayo, who lived with the children, acknowledged that he had left the gun in the drawer and was charged with “first-degree endangering the welfare of a child” and unlawful possession of a firearm.

In Elizabeth, New Jersey, a police officer removing his holster accidentally shot himself in the groin. He is expected to recover.

A Nez Perce hunter was injured after he was hit by a bullet fragment while hunting in Gardiner, Montana.  The incident was ruled an accident, and authorities have filed no charges against the man who shot the bullet that grazed the hunter. However, they are continuing to investigate.
