Antioch police have determined that a three-year-old boy who accidentally shot himself last week may have gained access to a loaded gun from his grandfather. After initial calls for patience and respect for the family, police are now recommending criminal charges, which include potential counts of child endangerment and improper gun storage. The grandfather, who had the boy part-time, could face serious legal consequences as the investigation continues. The tragedy highlights the need for stronger gun safety measures, particularly in homes with children.
Antioch Police Lieutenant Bill Whitaker emphasized the importance of proper gun safety, stating, 'People should keep weapons in a safe with a gun lock on it.'
