Prosecutors charge Ohio teen whose gun killed toddler
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Prosecutors in Ohio have charged a teenager whose gun got into the hands of a 7-year-old who accidentally shot a 3-year-old boy to death.
Authorities in Toledo filed charges of complicity to negligent homicide and failure to secure firearms against the 15-year-old late last week in juvenile court.
They say the teen is a relative of 3-year-old Tyrne Hoskins, who died from a gunshot wound in October. Police say several adults were in the home at the time.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Prosecutors have not released the name of the teenager and they earlier decided not to file charges against the 7-year-old who shot the gun.
Police tell The Blade newspaper in Toledo that the gun was fired inside a bedroom and the bullet went through a wall before hitting the toddler.
