Child Gunplay Case In Court

It’s another example of the dangers of leaving a gun unsecured in a home.

A three year old girl is being treated for a gunshot wound to the head.

26 year old Steven Johnson of Lincoln Park has been charged with three counts of second degree child abuse … charges that could send him to prison for up to ten years.

His preliminary exam is scheduled for today.

Johnson lived in a mobile home on Dix Avenue with his 29 year old girlfriend and her three children, aged 5, 3 and 2.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says the 3 were playing in Johnson’s bedroom when the little girl found his unsecured and loaded handgun.

While playing with it, it discharged.
