No matter what, charges should be filed against the adult(s).
I think you might be right and wondered about the 2-year-old's ability as well, Kid.
The reports are that the toddler is the one who had gunpowder indicative of being the shooter, which is consistent with the witness statements. Does that mean that it couldn't have been staged to protect one of the other kids? IDK.
Yeah, leaving loaded guns unattended anywhere with children present qualifies as "neglect" in my opinion, too.
