TULSA - A midtown child shooting does not appear life-threatening, police have confirmed.
Investigators say the 3-year-old boy was shot in the leg by his grandmother's boyfriend with a .22-caliber revolver recently bought at a flea market.
The man told police he was handling the weapon and, believing it to no longer work, shot the child.
Police are investigating the incident as an accidental shooting.
