A 2-year-old boy got his parents and himself badly injured after accidentally shooting them in their bedroom. It was reported that the boy found the handgun on his parent's night stand.

According to the Sagadahoc County sheriff's office, a 2-year-old boy fired a single round from a handgun in his parents' bedroom which got them all injured. It was reported that this took place before 8 a.m., and his parents were still sleeping.
