A man who inadvertently shot a 5-year-old boy in the head when he opened fire on a Bronx street has been sentenced to 10 years behind bars.

Michael Quiles, 29, was sentenced on Wednesday, April 24, after earlier being found guilty of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, ABC7 reported. On March 26, Quiles was acquitted of the more serious charges of first-degree assault and attempted murder.
