Child accidentally shot in the arm  

(10-26-15)   Erie, Pa.  A child was accidentally shot while sitting in a pickup truck in Millcreek Township.

Millcreek Police were called to a house in the 2000 block of Charleston Avenue just after 12:30 Saturday afternoon.

A 7-year-old boy was reportedly sitting in the back seat of a pick-up parked in the driveway, with his two siblings.

The child reportedly took a handgun from the center console of the truck. At that time, an older sibling pulled the gun away to put back in the council when it discharged, striking the child in the upper right arm.

The child underwent surgery at UPMC Hamot and is listed in stable condition.

The investigation is ongoing.
