SUMMIT TWP — Two adults have been charged in connection to a shooting in a township residence Sunday.

Charges were filed Tuesday in District Judge Lewis Stoughton’s office against Ryan K. Bowser, 40, and Carolyn S. Gaiser, 42. Both will face two counts of endangering the welfare of children and two counts of recklessly endangering another person. The charges are misdemeanors.

State police say a 10-year-old boy accidentally shot his 11-year-old brother Sunday afternoon inside their Beck Road residence, while home alone. The gun, a .357 revolver, was registered to Gaiser.

The victim sustained a leg injury and was flown to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. He did not have any broken bones but was going to have surgery to remove bullet fragments, police said.

A full report will appear in Wednesday's Butler Eagle.
