CHESTERFIELD, Va. (AP) — A 2-year-old Virginia boy accidentally shot his mother’s boyfriend, critically wounding him, police said Tuesday.
According to a preliminary investigation, the man was getting ready to leave the house Monday morning and had put the gun on a nearby chair when the toddler accidentally fired the gun, Chesterfield County Police spokesperson Liz Caroon said. The boy wasn’t injured, she said.
The man remained in critical condition at a hospital on Tuesday, according to police, who have not released the names of those involved.
