You might be asking yourself "how is it possible for a three-year-old to shoot two grown adults?" And the answer to that is: well...the kid apparently picked up a gun and just started shooting.
From ABC News:
Trayshaun Smith, 23, was arrested on Thursday after he visited a hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, according to Lt. Justin Hartman of the Lafayette Police Department.
Investigators eventually determined that the shooting that sent Smith and another victim to the hospital occurred when a three-year-old was able to access a gun and fire a single round.
"It was determined that a three year old child at that location accessed a gun and fired one round striking two people," according to Hartman.
The police department said officers initially found both shooting victims at the Franciscan Health Lafayette East Hospital, where they were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. They later determined that the shooting occurred at an apartment complex in Lafayette, Indiana.
Hartman said the other victim was the child's mother and Smith was a friend of the mother's.
The burning question remains: how did this three-year-old acquire the knowledge to operate a firearm?
Did it happen by sheer accident, or was it a learned ability?
Regrettably, the answer to this enigma may forever elude us...
