May 9, 2008, 8:53 PM PDT
Indianapolis -- A man whose 5-year-old son accidentally shot and killed his sister was arrested at the cemetery before the little girl's burial.James Michael Booher faces charges that include child neglect for allegedly leaving a semiautomatic handgun where his son could find it. Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi says 26-year-old Booher should have been more careful in keeping the gun away from his son. He says that is true especially since the boy had taken the gun from atop a refrigerator and shot a bullet into a kitchen cabinet eight months ago. Police say her brother climbed up to the top shelf of a bookcase to get the gun. Then shot his 4-year-old Makayla in the face. Booher was being held in the Marion County Jail on three counts of felony neglect. He faces up to 56 years in prison. Copyright © 2008, KTLA
