COLTON -- Police said a 2-year-old accidentally shot in the face last week west of Colton is expected to survive.

Sgt. Nathan Thompson, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office spokesman said the girl suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the shooting and was continuing to recover at OHSU Hospital.

Meanwhile, the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office is reviewing the case to determine whether to file charges in the shooting.

Thompson said the girl's uncle, Luke Andrew Bowman, 24, was cleaning a handgun at his home in the 30700 block of South Marian Street shortly after 11 a.m. Friday, when he pulled the trigger. A live round was in the chamber.

The bullet went through a coffee cup, then through both of the girl's cheeks before lodging in a wall.

The girl was rushed by Life Flight helicopter ambulance to OHSU Hospital, where she underwent surgery.

Thompson said detectives still are conducting interviews in their investigation. He said Bowman and his family are cooperating with detectives.
