A man who helped run an unlicensed suburban Detroit home day care where a toddler accidentally shot and wounded two other children has pleaded guilty to child abuse charges.
The Wayne County prosecutor's office says 33-year-old Timothy Eubanks is awaiting sentencing July 10 after entering the plea on Monday, the day his trial was to start.
Authorities say Samantha Eubanks' 3-year-old son shot two other 3-year-olds with a gun that had been left in an upstairs bedroom of their Dearborn home in September. One child was shot in the face. The other was wounded in the shoulder.
