Angry four-year-old Ohio boy shoots babysitter

By The Associated Press

JACKSON, Ohio - Police say an angry four-year-old Ohio boy grabbed a gun from a closet and shot his babysitter.

Eighteen-year-old Nathan Beavers was taken to hospital with minor wounds to his arm and side after the shotgun attack. Police said 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 trailer in Jackson on Sunday with several other teenagers and several other children.

Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen says authorities are investigating.

The child has not been charged.
