posted 1:56 pm Thu December 27, 2007 - Monrovia, Md.
The boy's name is Charles Donato, and his parents are Gail and Richard Donato. Charles is being treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital for a non-life-threatening wound.
The Frederick County Sheriff's Office says Charles reached under the sofa cushion last night and touched the pistol, causing it to fire a 9-millimeter bullet into his upper right thigh. The boy's two siblings weren't hurt.
Investigators seized several weapons from the home.
