The father of a Springboro boy who died last summer of a self-inflicted gunshot fired accidentally from his grandmotherâs gun pleaded guilty to a weapons charge in connection with the incident, according to the Journal-News.
George Lee Campbell Jr., 30, was indicted Nov. 2 by a Warren County grand jury for having weapons under disability, a third-degree felony.
Campbell told police he showed his mother how to load and use the Glock 9mm on June 26, the same day his 6-year-old son, Georgevoine Campbell, used it to accidentally shoot himself. He said he was sleeping when the boy found the gun, apparently in a cabinet or on a book case, according to the Springboro Police Department report and prosecutors.
