HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The father of a young boy who shot himself in the hand last year is facing additional charges in connection to the incident, Hartford police announced Wednesday.

Cameron West, 41, was charged in August with risk of injury to a minor. He’s now facing additional charges of negligent storage of a firearm and criminal possession of a firearm.

West told police that the boy, who was 6 years old at the time, was playing in the yard when he found the gun, brought it into the house and then shot himself.
