2-year-old boy shot by Tooele man not allowed to have guns

A 2-year-old boy was accidentally shot in the leg in Tooele over the weekend.

TOOELE —

Kurt Anthony Mora, 58, of Tooele, was arrested Sunday for investigation of drug possession with intent to distribute, six counts of possession of a firearm by a restricted person, illegal discharge of a firearm, carrying a weapon while under the influence, and possession of drug paraphernalia. "As Kurt Mora took possession of the gun, it went off, hitting the 2-year-old victim," the affidavit states. "A witness stated that Kurt Mora may have also been intoxicated during the incident, and I could smell the odor of alcohol on Kurt Mora's breath."

As police questioned Mora, he admitted having guns in his own home — even though he is not allowed to possess them because of his criminal record, police stated. Officers then obtained a search warrant for Mora's home.
