Parents Charged After 4-Year-Old Shoots Himself with Unsecured Gun

The boy, identified as Ronnie Lynn, is still receiving constant medical care after the incident, which the District Attorney described as 'tragic and unacceptable.'

4-year-old Ronnie Lynn shot himself in the head with a handgun that was left unsecured and loaded under a bed in his family's home in Rostraver Township, Pennsylvania.
Parents Laura Steele and Michael Lynn have been charged with endangering the welfare of children and recklessly endangering another person.
Ronnie underwent emergency surgery and has been in physical therapy to regain feeling in his arms and legs. He is still receiving constant medical care.
Steele allegedly admitted to the police that she was at fault, stating she was too tired to pay attention to her own child.
Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole Ziccarelli called the incident a 'tragic and unacceptable shooting that ultimately could have and should have been prevented.'
