Kid shot while jumping on bed, man charged CHICAGO, March 26 (UPI) -- A Chicago man was arrested and charged after a 4-year-old girl jumping on a bed was shot in the ankle by a gun he had hidden in the mattress, police said. Jarquise Upton, 21, was charged with one count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, one count of misdemeanor possession of ammunition and one count of misdemeanor theft of lost or mislaid property after the early Saturday incident, the Chicago Tribune reported. The girl was jumping on Upton's bed, Chicago police spokesman Darryl Baety said. The gun, stuck between mattresses, fired and the bullet hit the girl. The girl was taken to a hospital where she was in good condition, the newspaper said. Upton, the boyfriend of the victim's mother, told police he kept the gun, which he found in a building passageway, for "protection," police said. The Smith & Wesson, .22 caliber automatic handgun had been reported stolen, police said.
