JACKSON, Ohio (AP) -- Police say an angry 4-year-old Ohio boy grabbed a gun from a closet and shot his baby sitter.
Eighteen-year-old Nathan Beavers was hospitalized Sunday with minor wounds to his arm and side after the shotgun attack. Police say another teen was also injured.
Witnesses told police the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot. Beavers was watching the child at a mobile home in Jackson with several other teenagers and several other children.
Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen says authorities are investigating. The child has not been charged.

This is so very shocking.. wonder what a 4 year old kid knows about guns except for those in video games. How can kids have access to guns? oh ya i forgot this is US.

Something is not right, shotgun attack? I'm sorry but it would be very difficult for a 4 yo to handle a shotgun or even load it i dont care who you are. I've taught my kids how to shoot they know how to handle them and they still have difficulty with a shotgun.

I have 4 kids and I can't even imagine them thinking at the age of 4 being angry enough to shoot someone or a gun being an counter to have a foot stepped on. My question is 'what is this kid being exposed to at the age of 4 to see this is as a problem solving' ?
