A 24-year-old Cheyenne man accidentally shot his infant son Thursday in their home, according to the Cheyenne Police Department.

Police responded about 9:30 p.m. to a home at 5000 Ogallala Place. The 9-month-old child was taken to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center with a gunshot wound to his leg.

Police say his father, Joshua Karban, was manipulating the slide of his pistol when the gun went off. The bullet traveled through the wall and into the next room, where his son was sleeping.

The police department is still investigating the incident, but the Albany County District Attorney’s Office has not yet begun reviewing the case, as police had previously said.
