2-year-old accidentally shot by sibling, Henry County police say

A 2-year-old is stable after being shot when a weapon was accidentally discharged at a Henry County home Wednesday, officials said.

Officers were called to the 200 block of Robin Hood Lane, just outside of Hampton, around noon regarding the shooting. There, they treated the gunshot victim, who was then flown to a hospital, Henry police spokesman Capt. Randy Lee said.

The child’s twin sibling “gained possession of the firearm and the discharge was accidental,” Lee said Thursday.
