\nThe parents and uncle of a 3-year-old boy have been arrested for a shooting in the Parkland neighborhood after the boy found a loaded gun and shot himself.<\/p>\n
Jazmine Wiggins, 30; Jherrell White, 24 and Dejuan Floyd Jr., 24, were each charged with wanton endangerment, criminal abuse and tampering with physical evidence in connection to the incident, according to arrest slips.<\/p>\n
Wiggins was also charged with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.<\/p>\n
Arrest reports state on May 20, the three suspects placed the 3-year-old boy at risk by leaving a loaded gun unattended where he could find it.<\/p>\n
The boy found the gun and shot himself in the leg while in the care of Floyd, the boy\u2019s uncle, while inside White\u2019s home, according to police.<\/p>\n
White and Wiggins are listed as the boy\u2019s father and mother.<\/p>\n
Police said the parents arrived home and woke up Floyd when they realized the boy had shot himself and was sitting next to the loaded gun.<\/p>\n
Floyd said he had slept through the shot being fired.<\/p>\n
Police said Wiggins soon left to find something to cover the boy\u2019s gunshot wound. None of the three suspects called 911 once they realized the boy had been shot.<\/p>\n
Wiggins soon returned to the home and told White and Floyd to go to an acquaintance\u2019s home to get the boy treated.<\/p>\n
Police said when White and Floyd were with the boy, they were on the phone with Wiggins to create a cover-up story to hide the circumstances of the shooting.<\/p>\n
The gun was also brought to the acquaintance\u2019s house in an attempt to hide it.<\/p>\n
Three hours after the incident, police said White and Floyd took the boy to Norton Children\u2019s Hospital for treatment of his gunshot wound.<\/p>\n
Medical staff said the boy had suffered a gunshot wound to the left thigh that went all the way through alongside a fractured left femur.<\/p>\n
Wiggins did not go to the hospital with White and Floyd, instead staying at the home to clean and do laundry, according to police.<\/p>\n
Police later initiated a search warrant at the home and found the boy\u2019s bloody pants behind a trash can and the boy\u2019s bloody shirt under a pile of clothes in the bathroom.<\/p>\n
All three suspects have been booked in Metro Corrections and are scheduled to appear in court on June 15.
