Little Kavan Collins was walking down a Chicago street with his mother in June 2016 when he was hit in the face by a stray bullet from a drive-by shooting. On Tuesday, the 5-year-old accidentally shot himself in the hand with a handgun he found in the home of a family member, authorities said.

The Chicago Tribune reports that young Kavan was at the home of his father’s family when the incident happened. He was trying to hide a toy from his brother under his father’s mattress when he found the handgun and pulled the trigger, authorities said.

He had surgery and a skin graft Wednesday and was expected to be back home with his family in time for Christmas.


In a shocking and unexpected twist to the story, we are surprised to learn that:

quote:

Kavan’s father, 25-year-old Kevin Collins, has been charged with being an armed habitual criminal, unlawful use of a weapon and possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number—all of which are felonies. In addition, he has been charged with misdemeanor child endangerment.

He needs to be removed from his home. He’ll just grow up to be a shooter in 10 years living in those conditions

Shot twice by the age of 6? He's going to have quite the street cred.

He's already survived being shot twice. He might just be a superhero.




Or a bullet magnet, either way, impressive.
