A Texas dad who accidentally shot his 10-year-old daughter was arrested over the weekend. Colleyville Police say 53-year-old Steven Johnson of Colleyville, was allegedly showing his gun to friends who were visiting his house when it discharged and a bullet struck his daughter in the hand.
Police say the bullet went through a wall, hitting the girl, who was in another room at the house.
The victim, who has not been named, was taken to Baylor Emergency Medical Center by her mom. Authorities say the victim was then airlifted to Children’s Medical Center of Dallas.
Officials say the girl is recovering and has since been released from the hospital.
Johnson was arrested after hospital officials called police and reported the incident.
“From the circumstances officers observed at the house, they felt like they had probable cause to make an arrest for injury to a child,†said Colleyville city spokeswoman Mona Gandy.
He was taken to the Keller Police Department Jail and faces charges of injury to a child.
