MACON, Ga., Feb. 9 (UPI) -- A 3-year-old boy and his 1-year-old sister remained hospitalized Wednesday after he accidentally fired a pistol in their Macon, Ga., home, police say.
Sgt. Sean Defoe with the Bibb County Sheriff's Office said Gary Davis, 30, and Lashonda Hopkins, 25, were in the bedroom Tuesday evening while their toddlers were in the living room unattended, Macon's WMAZ-TV reported.
The boy allegedly climbed onto a shelf and grabbed a loaded .22-caliber handgun that accidentally discharged while he was examining it.
The bullet nicked both the boy's thumb and his sister's knee, police said.
The children were taken to a hospital where they were reported in stable condition.
The Sheriff's Office was investigating and no charges had been filed, WMAZ-TV reported.
