A gun owner whose weapon was used in the accidental — and fatal — shooting of a 10-year-old boy in Miramar Ranch pleaded guilty Monday to two counts of felony child endangerment.

Todd Francis, 56, had been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the June 4 death of his neighbor, Eric Klyaz, who had been playing with Francis’ 9-year-old daughter in the garage of the family home.

This is the fight we're having now, little boy was shot and killed on July 4th walking to the fireworks with his dad, hit by a bullet that someone shot off while celebrating their 2nd amendment rights, the bill passed the dem senate but the house of delegates is going to be a bigger fight.
