Toddler Accidentally Shoots Self in Head

SMITH COUNTY — A tragic accident at the Sportsmans Club on Highway 31 West in Smith County. Sheriff J.B. Smith says he was told 2-year-old Jaden McClean had wandered from in front of the bar area into the back office, found a handgun — and accidentally shot himself in the head. Jaden is the grandson of the club’s owners, Charles and Chanda McClean — whose son Dexter was murdered a couple of years ago in a still-unsolved case. Jaden’s been flown to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas in critical condition. Smith says it will be up to the DA whether any charges are filed.
