A two-year-old boy was accidentally
and seriously hurt by a bullet fired by a security guard in the
street of a small town near Brescia in northern Italy on Sunday
night.
The toddler was at the window of his home when the shot hit him.
The security guard is believed to have been showing off his
shooting ability to two nephews by firing at road signs, local
sources said.
A ballistics report has been ordered to trace the trajectory of
the bullet.
The incident happened in the town of Cortefranca.
The small boy is in serious condition in hospital.
Police said the guard may face charges of reckless endangerment.
