Officials said when the gun was shot, the bullet passed through a wall and struck a child who was in a different room.

When deputies arrived on the scene, the station reported, they heard what they believed to be another gunshot from inside the home.

A witness to the incident told deputies Spencer Dylan Harris, 29, was the man who shot the child, and when a family member was finally able to get the gun out Harris’s hands, he pulled out a second gun.

Deputies moved the 8-year-old boy and family to safety, and a little while later negotiators and S.W.A.T. arrived to deal with Harris, who was still inside the home.

Negotiators were unable to contact Harris from outside the home, so S.W.A.T. members sent a robot into the home to locate him before forcing their way inside and arresting the suspect.

Harris was ultimately taken to the Fayette County Jail and charged with aggravated assault. The child was transported to an area hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
