Fuck, that's heartbreaking

The probable cause statement says Little had accidentally shot himself in the face.

19-year-old Arquez Phipps told police that he had a fully-loaded gun hidden between his mattress and box spring.

Phipps was charged Tuesday with first-degree endangering the welfare of a child with serious physical injury. He is currently being held on a $20,000 cash-only bond.
