A Maine father has been arrested after his 2-year-old son got a hold of his gun and shot it at his sleeping parents — striking his mom in the leg while his newborn sibling was in the room, according to authorities and a report. 

Ian Carr, of West Bath, turned himself in after police issued a warrant for his arrest for endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office. 

The toddler found a Glock 9mm on his parent’s nightstand and fired it toward the sleeping couple in their bedroom, police said, according to WGME 13. The boy’s mother, 22, was struck in her leg, while Carr, 25, was hit in the head by bullet fragments, the local news station reported.  

A 3-month-old baby was in the room at the time of the incident, but was unscathed, according to WGME 13.  

The couple’s two children are now in the custody of unspecified family members, according to the report. 

The parents were reportedly treated at local hospitals and released on Thursday. Carr is due in court on Aug. 10, the station reported.  

Sagadahoc County Sheriff Joel Merry criticized the couple for their “carelessness.” 

“The seriousness of this incident must be underscored. This situation could easily have been fatal. The carelessness is astounding,” Merry said, according to the outlet. 

“However, current law only allows for a misdemeanor offense to be charged Every owner of any firearm must be responsible for the safe keeping of their weapons when children are present in the home, particularly inquisitive, young children.”
