JACKSON, Ohio Police say an angry 4-year-old Ohio boy grabbed a gun from a

closet and shot his baby sitter.

Eighteen-year-old Nathan Beavers was hospitalized Sunday with minor wounds to

his arm and side after the shotgun attack. Police say another teen was also

injured.

Witnesses told police the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped

on his foot. Beavers was watching the child at a mobile home in Jackson with

several other teenagers and several other children.

Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen says authorities are investigating. The

child has not been charged.
