A 3-year-old boy accidentally shot his twin brother with a gun that was left unattended at their home — and now their caretakers are wanted by Virginia police.
Details are sketchy, but police say the boys were in their mom’s Hopewell apartment on Monday when one of them fired a .25-caliber bullet that went through his brother’s bottom and abdomen, according to WTVR. The victim is in a stable and improving condition, but his mom and her boyfriend are reportedly on the run.
Reashonda Sharelle Jones, 28, has been charged with two counts of child neglect, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and filing a false police report. Her boyfriend, 29-year-old Lewis Walter Jones, was charged with child neglect, obstruction of justice and evidence tampering, according to the Associated Press.
