WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police say a man and a 3-year-old girl were wounded in a shooting in south Wichita. Television station KAKE reports that the shooting happened around 7 p.m. Wednesday at a mobile home park.
Investigators say the 38-year-old man who was shot called 911, and arriving officers found him, the wounded 3-year-old girl and another young child at the scene described as “panicked.”
Police say they believe the shooting was accidental, but did not immediately give details about how the shooting occurred. Police did, however, admonish parents to keep guns away from children. Police say the man and injured child were taken in serious condition to a hospital.
