A 3-year-old child in Indiana shot their mother and her friend last week, leading police to arrest the friend, who was wanted on a murder charge in another state.
The child shot both his 21-year-old mother and the mother's friend, 23-year-old Trayshaun Smith, in Lafayette, Indiana.
Smith was taken to the hospital and later arrested on an active murder warrant out of Cook County, Ill., Lt. Justin Hartman with the Lafayette Police Department told USA TODAY.

Police were called to Franciscan Health Lafayette East hospital around 8:31 p.m. Thursday about two people who had been shot, said Hartman with the Lafayette Police Department.
Hartman said the shooting happened at a Lafayette apartment complex.
"A 3-year-old child at that location accessed a gun and fired one round striking two people," he wrote in an email. "Neither injury was life threatening."
Hartman said it's standard protocol for hospitals to call police when someone shows up with gunshot wounds. That's how they found about about Smith.
