CLEVELAND (AP) -- A two-year-old boy is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to his head after a gun went off accidentally in a home on the city's east side.

Police say toddler Di'rico Washington is being treated at a hospital for head injuries. His baby sitter, 48-year-old Annette Jackson, is hospitalized in stable condition after the bullet struck her hand.

Jackson's son, 19-year-old Ernest Crawford, was arrested for felonious assault and is being held in the city jail.

Police tell The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer ( http://bit.ly/KZE7wa ) that Jackson's son and three other people began arguing Sunday afternoon and that Jackson separated them. Inside Jackson's house, Crawford's gun fired accidentally, going through a wall and hitting his mother and the child.
