SANDY — A 3-year-old was hospitalized Saturday night after a gun accidentally discharged at a party, striking her in an arm, officials said.

Police received a call of an accidental shooting at 122 E. Sego Lily Drive at about 9:45 p.m., according to Sandy Police Sgt. Jason Nielsen.

Officers arrived at a party taking place at East Village Apartments, and learned from witnesses about a handgun that participants believed was not loaded that was passed around the gathering earlier. At one point, an adult male discharged the gun, striking a toddler in the arm. The child’s 28-year-old father's leg was also grazed by the bullet, Nielsen said.

Both the child and father were taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, Nielsen said.

It was not immediately known if alcohol was a factor in the shooting. Police also did not know the caliber of the handgun.

Nielsen said the incident remains under investigation. He did not yet know whether charges would be filed.
