DETROIT – The mother and great-grandfather of a 4-year-old boy who found a handgun and shot himself are due in court Monday morning for sentencing.
Andrea L. Drewery, 30, and Joseph Williams, 80, both of Detroit, pleaded guilty to second-degree child abuse and felony firearms violations.
The 4-year-old found his great-grandfather’s handgun Nov. 2 at about 7:45 a.m. at their home in the 14000 block of Terry Street in Detroit and shot himself in the hand.
