Indiana judge sets bond for man after child seen waving gun

saw his 4-year-old child point a loaded handgun

Prosecutors and an attorney for the man declined comment after the hearing. A jury trial in the case is scheduled for March. A 4-year-old boy opened the door when officers arrived. They called for someone inside, got no response, then entered and saw the man, who was wearing only underwear, at the end of a hallway, authorities said.

Authorities found the handgun after an officer “asked the child where he put his toy” and the boy motioned toward a roll-top desk in the living room. An officer recovered the handgun from the desk. The Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun had 15 live rounds in its magazine, though no rounds were in the chamber, the documents said.
