Four-year-old Shot Self in Vehicle, and 15-year-old Critically Injured After Gun Accidentally Discharged

A four-year-old boy shot himself while waiting in a vehicle at a business parking lot in Sacramento, California. He is expected to recover. His mother was inside a business at the time of the shooting, and has been charged on multiple counts, including criminal storage of a firearm and endangering the life of a child.
