A 3-year-old child shot and injured two people in Indiana, which led to the arrest of a man wanted for murder in Illinois, law enforcement told CNN
The child got access to a gun and fired one round, striking two people at an apartment in Lafayette, Lafayette Police Department Lt. Justin Hartman told CNN. Officers responded to a local hospital where the two victims were being treated for non-life-threatening injuries after the shooting, Hartman said. One of the victims is the child’s mother, he added. Police did not say how the child was able to access the gun or what type of weapon was used.
The second shooting victim, identified as 23-year-old Trayshaun Smith, was a friend of the child’s mother who was visiting the apartment, Hartman said. Smith, a resident of Lafayette, was then arrested on an active murder warrant issued out of Cook County, Illinois, the lieutenant said. CNN has not been able to reach Smith and has been unable able to determine if he has legal representation.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, a Democrat, spearheaded the proposal. State senators gave the bill a final vote Thursday, and Gov. J.B. Pritzker says he will sign it. The federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act broadly exempts gun makers from being sued for injuries caused by criminal misuse of their products. But the 2005 law provides exceptions, including an allegation that a manufacturer or seller violated state or federal law on the sale or marketing of firearms.
