A three-year-old boy grabbed a gun and shot a murder suspect and his own mother in the US state of Indiana.
The toddler, reportedly a boy, fired a single round that struck both 23-year-old Trayshaun Smith and the boy’s mother, 21-year-old Jalynn Artis.
Smith was taken into custody by police in Lafayette after receiving treatment for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
He was arrested on an active murder warrant that had been issued in neighboring Cook County, Illinois.
He and Ms. Artis, who was also not seriously injured in the shooting, are friends, according to police.
Lafayette officers were called after a report of two people being shot shortly after 8:30 p.m. last Thursday at a city apartment.
Smith had been visiting the property.
Officers have not disclosed how the boy got access to the gun or what prompted him to fire the gun.
The Indiana Department of Children’s Services was contacted about the youth’s possession of the gun, but “no immediate action was taken,” Lt. Justin Hartman told USA Today.
As of Monday morning, there have been no additional arrests or charges regarding the boy who accessed the gun, but the Tippecanoe County Prosecutor’s Office is reviewing the case, the website added.
Lafayette is about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
