PHOENIX (AP) - A 21-year-old Phoenix man was arrested after his 4-year-old son was shot and critically wounded when the father handed a gun to his 15-year-old brother and it discharged, police said Thursday.
The 4-year-old son of Jose Adame Solis remained in critically condition Thursday, police said.
Solis on Wednesday was showing his handgun to his younger brother inside a residence where the younger child was nearby, police said.
The gun discharged as it was being mishandled by the 15-year-old, after Solis handed it to him, police said.
Solis called 911 and drove his son to a hospital, police said.
