Investigators found nearly two dozen guns and thousands of rounds of
ammunition lying around the Arizona home of a 3-year-old boy who
accidentally shot himself earlier this year.

The boy apparently pulled a small chair up to a counter where his
mother was working on a laptop computer March 3 and found a
.32-caliber semi-automatic pistol.

The weapon was in an ankle holster that exposed the gunâ€™s trigger,
which police said â€œcould easily be pulled by almost anyone.â€

The boy did pull the trigger and shot himself in the abdomen. He
underwent emergency surgery and survived the shooting.

The boyâ€™s parents, Don and Sharina Marion, have not been arrested or
charged.

Detectives executed a search warrant the familyâ€™s Pima County home and
reported 20 unsecured guns scattered throughout the house, including
shotguns, rifles, and a Colt .45 handgun in a holster affixed to the
headboard in the master bedroom.

The family does own a gun safe, where several weapons were found, but
one of the coupleâ€™s four children said he knew the safe was unlocked,
and another said his father â€“ who is the volunteer fire chief for the
Elephant Head Fire Department â€” didnâ€™t remember the combination to it.

Most of the weapons found in the house were not loaded, police said,
but several had rounds in the chamber and others had rounds in
magazines.

Sharina Marion told police she didnâ€™t know there were unsecured guns
in the home and said she believed the gun safe was locked.

Family members said the pistol used in the shooting was usually kept
on top of a kitchen cupboard, but they said it must have fallen to a
counter below.

The Marions told police they taught their children â€“ ages 3,7, 9, and
10 â€“ firearms safety and that they could handle the weapons only with
parental approval.

The 3-year-old had fired weapons under supervision the day before he
shot himself at a â€œchurch shootâ€ with other members of their
congregation.

The toddler told police April 17 that his parents had sold the guns.

The children remain with their parents at home.

They have a lock up your gun law in the "gunshine state". Maybe
Arizona is just a little behind the times

"The 3-year-old had fired weapons under supervision the day before he

congregation."

Let's see. Three year olds firing weapons at a church shoot. Yeah,
because jesus, little kids, and guns make for a religious moment.
