The girl, whose age was reported incorrectly earlier because of incorrect information provided, was in a house with a 14-year-old boy who lived there and with her two younger brothers, Detroit Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Woody said today.
The boy's father, who has not been charged, was arrested on charges of being a felon in possession of a gun and on some traffic warrants, Woody said. It's unclear what the 34-year-old man's criminal history involved.
Police do not know precisely who had the handgun when it went off in the house in the 15800 block of Lappin Street about 4:30 p.m., Woody said.
"(Children in the house) were playing with the gun, and the gun went off," Woody said. "(The gun) was kept in an unsecured location inside the parents' bedroom."
