Police said a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol that Hatchett unlawfully possessed discharged while he and his 17-year-old girlfriend were watching her young family members. It is not clear how the weapon was fired. The 2-year-old, who is a niece of Hatchett's girlfriend, is now out of hospital but suffered extensive injuries.
