A 2-year-old Michigan boy is in critical condition after he was left alone in a car with a loaded handgun and shot himself Tuesday afternoon.
Lansing police and emergency medical personnel responded to a Sunoco gas station where the shooting took place, WILX reported.
The boy was rushed to a hospital.
According to WMSN, officers found the gun still in the car.
A suspect ran from the scene rather than stay and talk with law enforcement, but the 44-year-old man didn’t get far before police caught up with him.
It’s not clear if he has been charged.
