A man is facing a felony charge after he left out a gun and his toddler shot himself with it.

The toddler, 2, is in the hospital after accidentally shooting himself in the arm with the gun his father left out.

27-year-old father, Oscar Guerra, was arrested and charged with one felony count of child abuse after his son grabbed the gun from the couch in Phoenix, Arizona.

The boy’s mother told police it’s not the first time Guerra had left a gun out, and she had warned him to keep his guns secured.

Guerra reportedly took out the gun to clean it, but began watching videos on his computer and forgot about it.

Police were called around 10.40 pm on July 9, and found Guerra and his son, who was injured with a gunshot to his left arm.

The child was taken to the hospital and has non-life-threatening injuries, police said, but Guerra is facing a prison sentence for the accident.

He said he saw his son walk into the room, but thought he had gone back to his bedroom when he heard a gunshot.
Guerra is out of jail without bail, but is facing nine years in prison if convicted.
