LARGO — Two Tampa Bay-area children have been injured in separate accidental shootings.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office says a 22-year-old Largo man faces a charge of aggravated child abuse after shooting a toddler.

Detectives say the man unloaded his shotgun Thursday morning, pointed it at the 20-month-old girl and pulled the trigger, not realizing that a round remained in the weapon.

The child was hospitalized with non-lifethreatening injuries.

In Clearwater, the sheriff’s office says a 6-year-old boy accidentally shot his 8-year-old brother Thursday evening. Detectives say an adult was showing the boys his guns, and the younger child grabbed one and pulled the trigger.

The 8-year-old was hospitalized with a leg injury. No charges were filed.http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2010/oct/29/2-florida-children-injured-accidental-shootings/
