Greene County man arrested in 3-year-old son's fatal shooting

A Greene County, Arkansas, man has been arrested on a second-degree
murder charge for the fatal shooting of his three-year-old son, a
district prosecuting attorney said Saturday morning.

Scott Ellington, the 2nd Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney, told
Arkansas Online that Greene County resident Michael Carter, 23, was
arrested Friday in the death of his son Logan after the .45 caliber
handgun Carter was holding fired and killed the child on Jan. 11.

Ellington said the child had been shot in the head from a "pretty close
range."

"He did not intend to murder the child, however I believe his actions
demonstrated utter disregard for the potential damage to human life," he
said.

The shooting occurred at 1187 Greene County Road 336, according to
Ellington's office. The child's mother and his 10-month-old brother were
inside the residence when the shooting occurred.

Carter is set to appear in Greene County circuit court Monday and is
currently being held in Greene County jail on a $1 million bond,
Ellington said.

Here, read about the 'norm':

Four of seven homicide victims teens
By Tracy Swartz posted Jan. 15, 2014 at 12:00 a.m.

Two male teenagers were shot and killed in separate incidents in the last week, a RedEye analysis of
preliminary police data found.

A 16-year-old boy was fatally shot Saturday in the 6200 block of South St. Lawrence Avenue in
Woodlawn, police said. Three days before, a 19-year-old man was shot to death in the 6400 block of
South Campbell Avenue in Chicago Lawn, according to officials.

Four of the seven homicide victims so far this year were teenagers, RedEye determined as of
Wednesday afternoon.

Last year, about one in five homicide victims was a teenager, according to RedEye data.

Meanwhile, a 27-year-old man was shot to death Wednesday in the 3900 block of West Congress Parkway
in West Garfield Park, police said. A week earlier, a 56-year-old man was fatally shot in the 1700
block of East 72nd Street in South Shore, police said.

Seven homicides have been recorded so far this month. Forty-four homicides were logged in January
2013, RedEye determined.

The exception is not the shooting. This is America, and shootings are
just part of our culture. The exception is that the daddy was charged
with a serious felony for shooting his kid "by accident."
