Sheriff’s investigators said Ryker, who is autistic found his uncle’s pistol in the console of the truck and shot through the console and into his leg. Bullock said angels must have been watching over her grandson.

“The uncle always, always unloaded the gun. Things have happened. We’ve had a lot going on and he didn’t even realize that it was in the truck. He didn’t think…and it just took a split second,” Bullock explained. “He opened up the console as they were coming back, and the gun went off. It went through the console into the baby’s leg. It missed every artery, every tendon and every bone. Very fortunate. All I can say is there was a lot of love…of angels around our family.
Ryker was scheduled to have surgery Monday and his family expects him to be able to come home from the hospital Tuesday, the 19th. No charges are being filed. Investigators said this was a near-tragic accident and a scary reminder of how quickly things can go wrong when children are around loaded guns.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
