WSAZ-TV says a bizarre shooting Sunday night involved a 4-year-old wielding a shotgun.
The Jackson County, Ohio, Sheriff says some teenagers were babysitting some younger children in a mobile home.
TV-3 says a 4-year-old got angry after 18-year-old Nathan Beavers stepped on his foot.
The police report says the boy then went into a back room, loaded a shell in a 20-gauge shotgun, came out and shot Beavers in the arm.
The babysitter was hospitalized, but the injury was not life-threatening.
Another teen was also hit with shotgun pellets.
The sheriff says possible violations include aggravated assault against the 4-year-old, and child endangerment against the babysitting victim. Right now, the sheriff is not sure yet if anyone will be charged, says WSAZ-TV.
