Last night, a three-year-old boy was shot in the leg by another toddler as the two played with a shotgun they found inside a Baltimore home. Further details are scant, but one takeaway is clear: it wouldn't have happened if there wasn't a gun in the house.

Local news outlet WBAL reports that the shooting happened on Pen Lucy Road in Southwest Baltimore. The victim was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. According to the Baltimore Sun, he is in stable condition.

The two toddlers were playing in the victim's bedroom when the gun went off, the Sun reports. It isn't yet clear whether anyone will be charged with a crime.
