Father indicted after 6-year-old killed in accidental shooting in Montgomery County

The father of a 6-year-old boy who accidentally shot and killed himself this past February has been indicted in Montgomery County. Lascelle Lee, 32, is charged with involuntary manslaughter, neglect of a minor, reckless endangerment and allowing a minor’s access to a loaded firearm. Authorities allege that Lee left a loaded and unsecured firearm in a location that would be accessible to the child, who fatally shot himself in the face. Lee was released on his own recognizance during a bench warrant hearing on Wednesday. First responders found the child with an apparent self‑inflicted gunshot wound to the face inside a home on Maple Leaf Drive on February 17. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the boy was inside the home with one adult at the time. A hearing is scheduled for April 24 to select trial dates for Lee.
