A 14-month-old baby is in critical condition after being shot during a family argument on the Siksika First Nation in Alberta.
The infant and his 18-year-old father were shot on Sunday by the baby's uncle, a 16-year-old boy. Investigators are still trying to determine what happened but say alcohol was involved.
The 16-year-old has been arrested on attempted murder, weapons and assault charges. He faces additional charges if the baby doesn't make it. The father suffered non-life threatening injuries.
