LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. (AP) - A 7-year-old boy was accidentally shot

The Lee County Sheriff's Office reports that the boy was sitting
next to his stepfather, 24-year-old Wayne Harold Wheeler, who was
cleaning a gun at a Lehigh Acres home Monday night when the child
was shot in the torso.
Authorities say the child was conscious and breathing before being taken to the hospital by helicopter.
The injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
No charges have been filed.
