MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Milwaukee man whose two young children were left unsupervised near a gun is facing a felony count in the inadvertent shooting death of his son.
Giovanni R. Smith is charged with neglecting a child resulting for the incident that killed the 2-year-old boy.
The complaint says Smith’s 4-year-old child told authorities the two siblings were in the bedroom watching cartoons when he took the defendant’s gun off a speaker and shot his brother.
Court documents show that the 26-year-old Smith then took the gun and placed it on top of a kitchen cabinet.
