Tragic Accident: Rhode Island Father Shoots 4-Year-Old Son in the Head

A 4-year-old boy in Rhode Island is in critical condition after his father, who is on probation and prohibited from owning a gun, accidentally shot him in the head. The father, Michael Jones, allegedly discharged a 9-millimeter gun in his bedroom, with the bullet going through the wall and hitting the boy in an adjacent room. Jones will face multiple charges, including felony assault and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. The child was taken to the hospital for surgery, and the incident highlights the need to keep firearms out of the hands of prohibited individuals.
