Two people have been arrested in connection with an accidental shooting in Monroe that left a 2-year-old injured last year. The incident occurred on July 23, 2024, at a home on Route 110 and Osborn Lane, where the child was shot in the hand and foot. The child was taken to the hospital, underwent surgery, and has since been released. The child’s mother initially attempted to take him to the hospital but called 911 for help.
Arrest warrants were served on Monday, and both individuals turned themselves in. One individual is facing charges related to risk of injury to a child, while the other is facing charges for illegal possession of high capacity magazines and failure to store firearms securely when minors are present. Detectives are looking into who was in the home at the time of the incident and how the gun became accessible to the child. The investigation is ongoing, as police continue to gather information about the circumstances surrounding the accidental shooting.
