A Cincinnati man has been charged in Saturday's accidental shooting that injured a child at the Love's Truck Stop in St. Paul.

Just after 9 p.m., Decatur County Central Dispatch received a call of shots fired. Deputies arrived and immediately began medical aid for a 1-year-old boy wounded by a gunshot.

The boy was transported to Decatur County Memorial and then transferred to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. The boy's wounds were described as superficial.

David Gray, of Cincinnati, told authorities that the gun was in the waistband of his pants. His pants sagged as he exited the restroom and when he pulled them up the gun discharged.

Gray was charged with Criminal Recklesness, a Level 6 felony.
