Indianapolis – In a stellar display of cerebral prowess and really bad aim, 19 year old Adam Chavez Sr. shot his infant son in the head on Wednesday afternoon.

According to Chavez, he was playing with a 9-millimeter handgun in a bedroom. A bedroom where his one-year-old son, Adam Chavez Junior, was playing. The gun went off either by itself or with help, and baby Adamadam reviews was hit in the back of the head and the thigh – wounds which police say could have come from a single shot.

Adam Jr.’s mother, Christina Cardenas, also 19, rushed out of the house on West Addison Street carrying her son, screaming that her baby had been shot. A police unit was a few doors down leaving another call and was able to respond immediately. WitnessesWitnesses reviews say that both mother and baby were “covered in blood”, and that while the infant was crying at first, he was quiet by the time the ambulance arrived. Adam Jr. is reported to be between 13 and 15 months old, so quiet is not a good sign. As of Wednesday night, Adam Chavez Junior was listed in serious condition at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.

The family was visiting Chavez’s brother from their home state of Texas when the shooting occurred. The brother owned the gun, and was taken in for questioning.

Police say that there were “inconsistencies” in the stories of the brothers, and that their accounts of the shooting “didn’t add up.” Yathink?

Adam Chavez Sr. was arrested on one count of criminal recklessness, a Class C felony, with prosecutors saying they may add more charges later. Later being, presumably, when or if baby Adam dies. If baby Adam lives, this may be a case where he is returned to his family, the shooting’s called an accident, and a year or two down the pike, I’m writing about this kid again – this time because his dad really did manage to kill him.
