A 14-year-old boy has been charged with accidentally shooting a 10-year-old boy in the stomach inside a north Charlotte home Sunday afternoon, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said Monday.

The 14-year-old, whose name has not been released, was charged with possession of a firearm by a minor, police said.
