Police say an angry 4-year-old Ohio boy grabbed a gun from a closet and shot his baby sitter.

Eighteen-year-old Nathan Beavers was hospitalized Sunday with
minor wounds to his arm and side after the shotgun attack. Police
say another teen was also injured.

Witnesses told police the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot. Beavers was watching the child at
a mobile home in Jackson with several other teenagers and several
other children.

Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen says authorities are
investigating. The child has not been charged.

This is very unlikey. A house full of teens being mischevious yes but not a four year old.
