HOUSTON (AP) — Prosecutors say a grand jury has indicted a Texas sheriff's sergeant after his young stepson shot and injured himself last year with a weapon the deputy had left in an unlocked gun safe.
Authorities announced Thursday that Harris County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Tommy Anderson faces a charge of making a firearm accessible to a child.
Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg says Anderson was on a walk with his daughter in July 2018 when his then 4-year-old stepson found his handgun at their home in Hockley, located northwest of Houston, and accidentally shot himself in the head.
