Audio from the office said a woman called police and said her daughter reached for her purse, which contained a firearm.<\/p>\n<p>The 2-year-old girl was injured in the hand and was listed in good condition at a hospital in Evanston, Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>Neighbors didn&#8217;t have much information Monday, other than to say they heard the gunshot. <\/p>\n<p>Chicago police said Monday that a 22-year-old woman was charged with two misdemeanors in the Rogers Park incident: one count of child endangerment and one count of having a handgun without a valid identification card. valid firearms owners. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, 22 miles away and three and a half hours later, police said another 2-year-old boy was shot. <\/p>\n<p>Police said around 10:30 p.m., a 2-year-old boy was playing in a bedroom when a gun went off. <\/p>\n<p>He was also hit in the hand and was taken to a hospital in fair condition. <\/p>\n<p>Police did not say who fired the gun in that case.  But a 24-year-old man was charged with child endangerment and a warrant was issued for his arrest. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two 2-year-olds,&#8221; community activist Andrew Holmes lamented Sunday night.  &#8220;Get a lock. Lock those guns. Search those houses, because these two kids could be permanently damaged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why do young children in Chicago have access to loaded guns?  And what is being done about it? <\/p>\n<p>A 2021 study by Lurie Children&#8217;s Hospital found that 22 percent of parents in the city reported having a firearm at home, and nearly half of Chicago parents keep them loaded. <\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Charges filed after separate shooting incidents involving young children<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">02:37<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, two different laws went into effect in January.<\/p>\n<p>One of them requires the state to develop a public awareness campaign about how to store a gun safely.  Local jurisdictions have taken it upon themselves to host demonstrations on how to do this.<\/p>\n<p>The second law requires safe gun storage to be added to safety education lessons taught in Illinois schools.  But this law would only provide instruction for school-aged children and would not have prevented such cases of young children. <\/p>\n<p>CBS Chicago reached out to the Illinois Department of Public Health for an update on the public awareness campaign, five months after the law went into effect. <\/p>\n<p>By late Monday, the station had still not received a response.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Trending news<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/chicago-two-shootings-two-year-olds-hours-apart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Questions about gun safety after two 2-year-old boys are shot in separate incidents Questions about gun safety after two 2-year-old boys are shot in separate incidents 02:28 Charges have been filed against two people in separate shootings involving 2-year-old children in Chicago within hours of each other.
