A 24-year-old father of two, Jordan Walters, has pleaded guilty to shooting his neighbour’s 18-month old baby to quieten the crying baby.
The victim-toddler, Harry Studley, was visiting a flat shared by Walters and his partner, Emma Horseman, both of whom have two sons aged two years and two months respectively.
As reported by Metro, Harry was in company with his mother, Amy Allen, and two-year-old brother, Riley.
Amy’s children were crying and Horseman allegedly told Walters – who was cleaning his rifle – to “shoot Harry just to frighten him, shut him up, shoot it at Harry.”
In his deposition before the jury, Walter said he thought the weapon was empty; so he “aimed the gun at Harry and fired it right into his head.”
The bullet penetrated the toddler’s skull and emergency surgery saved his life but no one could say if he will make a full recovery.
And while Walters pleaded guilty, Horseman, also 24, denied the charge. Their trial commences today (Monday).
Can you just imagine the nonsense !!!
