Police are conducting an investigation to determine the circumstances under which the baby was shot. “Although, fortunately, the infant was not fatally injured, the incident should serve as a reminder to any parent or guardian to immediately check that their firearms are secured,” said Mary O’Connor, Tampa Police Chief. “Kids should not have access to guns. They should always be locked somewhere and ammunition should be kept separately,” he insisted.
