Licking County Sheriff

The father of a 2-year-old girl who police say was fatally shot at a Central Ohio home is facing child endangerment charges. 

A woman who identified herself as the girl's mother during a 911 call Saturday said the girl was accidentally shot by her 6-year-old brother. Police have not confirmed the details of the call. Court documents show the girl's mother later said her husband, Jason Massuros, frequently left loaded guns in the home. He has been charged with endangering children and is being held on a $500,000 bond. Licking County court records don't show an attorney for Massuros.
