Father arrested after daughter wounded by shotgun blast

PHOENIX (AP) — Authorities say a 26-year-old Glendale man arrested in the shooting of his 6-year-old daughter told police he was cleaning a shotgun and explaining gun safety to her before he dropped the loaded weapon and it discharged, critically wounding her.
Eldon Mcinville was arrested Thursday and remained jailed Saturday on suspicion of child abuse/reckless and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Court records don’t list a defense attorney who could comment on his behalf.
