CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A man has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of his 8-year-old son in a suburban Detroit home.
Nicholas Bennett, 33, of Canton Township, was arraigned Friday, according to the Wayne County prosecutor’s office.
Bennett was working on a rifle Dec. 15 in a Canton Township home when the weapon fired, prosecutors said.
The boy was in the room with his father when he was shot. He later died at a hospital.
Bennett faces a Jan. 29 probable cause conference and a Feb. 5 preliminary examination.
The Associated Press was unable Friday afternoon to determine if Bennett has an attorney.
