Woman and Boy are Injured in Unintentional Shootings

A woman was shot in the chest when a bullet from the adjacent apartment came through her wall in Tolleson, Arizona. When police arrived, they found a man with a self-inflicted gun shot wound in the apartment next door. The woman’s injuries were not life-threatening; the man’s were, and they were both taken to the hospital.

And in Amarillo, Texas, a father unintentionally shot his son when a gun he was handling went off. The boy was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Police continue to investigate.
