Whoa.
JACKSON, Ohio — Police say an angry 4-year-old Ohio boy grabbed a gun from a closet and shot his baby sitter.
Eighteen-year-old Nathan Beavers was hospitalized Sunday with minor wounds to his arm and side after the shotgun attack. Police say another teen was also injured.
Witnesses told police the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot. Beavers was watching the child at a mobile home in Jackson with several other teenagers and several other children.
Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen says authorities are investigating. The child has not been charged.

What I’m dying to know is whether the issue of charging the kid or not is actually being considered by the authorities or is an example of a reporter with his/her brain turned off.
Honestly now, I have a three year old and six year old. I’m having a hard time fathoming how either one could be angry and form the intent to grab the shotgun and use it to shoot myself or anyone else.
Anyway, charged and convicted, this kid will be the youngest resident in the Ohio penal system, I’m sure. I can just see a prison tat with the Wiggles and teardrops and bricks surrounding them.
