Lubbock County deputy Justin Lee Jones has been arrested and fired after being accused of reckless injury to a child. Jones failed to secure a gun that one of his sons used to accidentally shoot another.
Police say the 4-year-old boy survived being shot in the abdomen by his 5-year-old sibling, who allegedly used their father's service weapon.
Lubbock County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Jason Stewart on Thursday said 32-year-old Justin Lee Jones was arrested following his termination.
Jones, who'd been a deputy for more than seven years, was freed after posting $100,000 bond Wednesday. Online jail records did not list an attorney for Jones.
Stewart says Jones was indicted Monday over the Aug. 20 shooting of his then-4-year-old son, Tyler.
