CLEVELAND -- Cleveland police say they have arrested an 11-year-old boy who shot and wounded his 8-year-old brother while the two were playing "gangster" Friday morning.
Police say the boys were playing with a gun they found in their grandmother's car.
The 8-year-old is being treated at MetroHealth Medical Center for a gunshot wound to his upper chest. His condition wasn't immediately available, but police Lt. Thomas Stacho says the wound does not appear to be life-threatening.
He says the 11-year-old is being charged with felonious assault and the grandmother will be charged with failure to secure a deadly weapon.
The boys' mother, Kimmie Hicks, was sentenced Nov. 17 to four years in prison for beating them with an ax last July.
