Kentucky Parents Charged with Manslaughter After Toddler Fatally Shot by Sibling

The parents allegedly left a loaded handgun within reach of their 3-year-old son, leading to the tragic incident.

Selena Farrell and Tashaun Adams, parents of a 2-year-old boy who was fatally shot by his 3-year-old brother in Kentucky, have been charged with manslaughter.
The couple allegedly left a loaded handgun within reach of their 3-year-old son, who then shot his younger brother.
Farrell, who is a convicted felon, also faces charges of illegal possession of a firearm and abandonment of a minor. Adams is charged with hindering prosecution.
Farrell fled the scene before police arrived and was later found hiding in a hotel room in Florence.
The charges against the parents are considered 'novel' in Kentucky, according to Kenton County prosecutor Rob Sanders.
