YOUNGSTOWN — A brother and sister have been indicted on one count each of felony child endangering for a March 8 incident in which a boy, 4, shot himself with a gun at his home but survived.

Zulimar A. Vazquez, 22, mother of the boy, and Luis M. Vazquez, 21, Zulimar’s brother, were indicted in the shooting, which took place at an apartment on McBride Street in the Victory Estates apartments on the East Side.

If convicted, each could get several years in prison. Their first hearing in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court is likely to take place in a couple of weeks.

The shooting led to a press conference at the police station in which Mayor Jamael Tito Brown and police Chief Carl Davis reminded people the police department continues to partner with Project Child Safe to provide free gun locks to help families keep firearms away from children.

Also Thursday, the grand jury indicted Aaron C. Keys, 29, whose address is the Mahoning County jail, on being a felon in possession of a firearm and carrying a concealed weapon.

The charges stem from an April 19 incident in the city in which officers observed Keys in the 300 block of East Auburndale Avenue after hearing a gunshot nearby. Keys began to run through back yards, jumping a fence on Auburndale and continuing a couple blocks south.

Officers found him in the parking lot of Conroy’s Party Shop, 3518 South Ave., and detained him in a police cruiser, according to a police report.

An officer told Keys that if he dropped a handgun while he was running from police, he should let the officers know the location so they could find it so no child or young adult finds it and gets hurt.

Keys said that if he “hypothetically” dropped a gun, it would be two houses east of their location between two pieces of wood, the report states. Officers located a handgun in the path of where the man ran between two logs.

• Leevaughn Toney Jr., 61, Dean Avenue, improperly discharging a firearm into a habitation or school safety zone with a gun specification, felonious assault with a gun specification, being a felon in possession of a firearm, violating a protection order with a gun specification, menacing by stalking and domestic violence;
