A 2-year-old was struck in the head by a stray bullet while playing outside at a Utah day care, authorities say.
The day care notified the parents, who took the child to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. Doctors discovered through scans a "small caliber bullet" lodged in the toddler's head, Slaymaker said.
The child was transferred to a local children's hospital for treatment and is currently in stable condition, police said.It is unclear where the gun was fired from and why. The incident appears to be a "tragic accident" and remains under investigation, Slaymaker said. "Open fields are directly west of the daycare and it is believed the round may have come from that area," Slaymaker said.
