It's March 26th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. A six-year-old boy in Alabama accidentally shot his 13-year-old brother with their father's 5.56 caliber A.R. style rifle at the family home. The younger child got hold of the gun from a bedroom, firing it and causing a shoulder wound. The teen got quick treatment at a local hospital and is expected to recover fully. The whole family was home at the time, including their mom and two other kids. Local authorities call it an accident and the Lawrence County District Attorney's Office is looking into it now. Republican State Representative Ernie Yarbro in his first term since 2022 strongly backs Second Amendment rights. He pushed a bill to block red flag laws that take guns from at-risk people but it didn't pass in 2023 or 2025. Online, folks are upset, saying the gun was a secure property and calling for parents to use safes.

Critics question if Yarbro is responsible enough to represent them after this. Legal experts say charges like reckless or negligent assault could come if proof shows the rifle was left where kids could reach it. For now, the investigation continues as the family heals.
