"Michigan Man Charged After Toddler Shoots Herself, Prompting First Case Under Gun Storage Law"
A Michigan man has pleaded not guilty after becoming the first person charged under the state’s new law requiring safe storage of guns, following his 2-year-old daughter shooting herself with his revolver. Michael Tolbert faces nine felony charges, including first-degree child abuse and violation of Michigan’s gun storage law, with his daughter remaining hospitalized in critical condition. The incident occurred the day after the new law took effect, and Tolbert was found to have unsecured and loaded guns in his home.
