OPAL, Va. — A Virginia man has been arrested after a 2-year-old shot a 4-year-old inside a car.
News outlets report 26-year-old Isaiah Marshall Davis and another adult allegedly left three children between the ages of 2 and 4 at a truck stop in Opal. Authorities say the 2-year-old boy found a gun and shot the girl Friday night.
