It is unclear whether either of the two people charged in each shooting actually fired a weapon.
-- Charges have been filed against two people in separate shootings involving 2-year-olds in Chicago.Rogers ParkAs CBS 2 Investigator Megan Hickey reported, it is unclear whether either of the two people charged actually fired a weapon. But both were charged with endangering a child by having an unsecured, loaded gun.
The little girl found the loaded gun and shot herself. Dispatch audio said a woman called police and said her daughter got a hold of her purse – which had a firearm in it. The little boy was also hit in the hand. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in fair condition. "Two 2-year-olds," community activist Andrew Holmes said Sunday night."Get a lock. Lock these guns down. Search these homes - because these two children may have permanent damage."A 2021 study from Lurie Children's Hospital found that 22 percent of city parents reported having a firearm at home - and nearly half of those Chicago parents store them loaded.One of the laws required the state to develop a public awareness campaign on how to safely store a gun.
