A child is in critical condition after being shot in the face on Dec. 30 while in a car at a Wendy’s fast-food restaurant in North Carolina.

The child was with his mother while at the drive-thru when he apparently got ahold of a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun and shot himself in the face in Randleman, said Randleman Police Chief Steve Leonard. He said the child is about 5 years old, Fox8 reported.
