In Phoenix, a 2-year-old grabbed a gun while being baby sat by his aunt and grandmother and shot himself in the face. Part of his skull has been removed to relieve the swelling; he's in critical condition. An investigation is underway. No charges have been filed.

Meanwhile, yet again, a gun was carelessly left by a government employee in the tourist-heavy Capitol building. Unbelievable.
Snip:
Capitol Police officers misplaced their loaded guns in plain sight on at least three separate occasions, including once when a small child found the weapon, according to a Roll Call analysis of a Capitol Police Board report.
One officer assigned to protect Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) left his gun in a toilet seat cover holder in a bathroom stall in the Capitol Visitor Center in January.
Another assigned to the detail of Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) left a firearm in the bathroom of the Speaker’s suite, where a 7- or 8-year-old visiting child discovered the gun. The Glock pistol left by Boehner’s detail does not have a traditional locking mechanism and could still be fired when left out, Roll Call reported.
A janitor found the third pistol out in the Capitol Police headquarters, according to the paper.
