Two children were hit by gunfire when their father fired a shotgun near them last week at their home in Leavenworth, Wash. Police were dispatched to a domestic disturbance call at around 8:45 a.m. Friday, and they found a 2-year-old boy with injuries to his head and shoulder and an 11-year-old girl with chest, arm and hand injuries. The children were treated at the hospital. Police arrested their 36-year-old father, who was reported to be heavily intoxicated earlier in the day when he threatened to kill the children as well as a woman in the house.
