A Philadelphia man by the name of, Maurice Phillips, has been arrested and charged with shooting his 4-year-old daughter in the face. He has been charged with third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child. Phillips was playing with his semiautomatic handgun when it accidentally went off striking his daughter in the face.
Police thought that the young girl was shot by her sibling but her father admitted to doing the shooting. So sad. Sgt. Eric Gripp says he,
“admitted to accidentally shooting the victim, and stated that the sibling had nothing to do with it,”
When police arrived the father was no where to be found but he later turned hisself in.
