Father charged after child shot in Jefferson City


Lumas was putting away his gun when his son and another child, age 6, entered his bedroom, according to a probable cause statement. Lumas told police that he was demonstrating gun safety to the children. He told investigators that he later thought the children had left the room and he turned his attention to the TV while unloading the gun.

Lumas said his son then startled him and the gun, a 9 mm Ruger pistol, went off, according to the statement.
