Pennsylvania - Police have arrested a man who they say left a gun at home where a 10-year-old boy found it and shot his 6-year-old sister, thinking the weapon was a toy.
Officials say the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force took 24-year-old Tremayne James into custody in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Thursday.
James has been charged with receiving stolen property, endangering the welfare of children and reckless endangerment among other offenses.
Police were called to a Harrisburg home on December 7 where they found the girl on the floor and her mother trying to help her.
The girl was admitted to hospital in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the chest. She is expected to make a full recovery.
As a convicted felon, James was not permitted to own guns.
No attorney information was available.
