GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A Grand Rapids family is now under investigation after their 2-year-old shot himself in the hand

It happened sometime before 10 a.m. Saturday, according to our conversation with the Grand Rapids Police Department.

The parents brought the child to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the hand.

Fortunately, it appears to be noise — something that may not incapacitate the child, officers told FOX 17.

According to police, the mother left the room for a second, heard the gunshot and came running.

The father told investigators he believed he put his gun where the 2-year-old shouldn’t have been able to get it.

Child Protective Services was notified and the GRPD Detective Unit is working on a warrant to collect evidence at the scene.

This is an ongoing investigation. We will update this article as more information is confirmed.

The investigation mirrors the April 1 death of 5-year-old Braxton in Newaygo County, where the grandparents, Theresa and Karl Robart, were charged with violating Michigan’s new gun safety laws.

Karl pleaded guilty earlier this monthTheresa’s trial is scheduled to begin on October 30.
