The local police department in Chesterfield County, Virginia confirmed the details to CBS 6 News.

The firearm discharged, hitting the victim. Fortunately, the child was not harmed, and neither was anyone else in the house. However, the police are still investigating the incident.

He still had a smile on his face," she said.
Many neighbors expressed their concern for the victim and hoped for his full recovery. They also stressed the importance of gun safety in light of this unfortunate event. Lisa Wood shared her thoughts on the matter, saying, "When you're not responsible with your belongings, bad things can happen. It's heartbreaking that it had to involve a child. I hope the adult pulls through because this is just a terrible situation."
