A Michigan man from Flint, aged 44, pleaded not guilty to nine felony charges after his 2-year-old daughter shot herself in the head with his revolver. This incident marked the first prosecution under Michigan's new law mandating safe storage of firearms.
The man, identified as Tolbert, was arraigned on charges including first-degree child abuse and violation of the gun storage law. His daughter remains hospitalized in critical condition following the shooting on February 14, the day after the law came into effect.
