And his own mother.
Police in Lafayette, Indiana are investigating a shooting by a 3-year-old boy that led to the arrest of a man wanted for murder in Cook County.
Investigators said two people were hurt when the child pulled the trigger on Thursday, WTHR reported.
This all happened at an apartment complex where a similar shooting involving another child took place in just the last two months.
Two people showed up at a Lafayette hospital Thursday night with non-life threatening gunshot wounds.
When police started asking questions, they found out the shooter was a 3-year-old.
Lafayette police believe the 3-year-old boy fired one shot inside this apartment, hitting his 21-year-old mother, Jalynn Artis from Gary, and her friend, 23-year-old Trayshaun Smith of Lafayette.
After Smith left the hospital, police arrested him for an active warrant for murder in Cook County.
"That's sad. I did not know what went on last night, but I seen the police was out here all night," said Janice Brown, who lives near where the shooting took place.
