HOUSTON (KTRK/CNN) – A 10-year-old boy in Texas is recovering after he was accidentally shot by his babysitter when she was taking selfies with a gun.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says a 19-year-old relative was watching the child, when she found the gun.

Thinking it was unloaded, the woman started posing and taking pictures with it.

That’s when the gun went off, hitting the boy in the stomach.

The Sheriff’s Office says he is now in stable condition.

The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed yet.

New California bill would pay meth users for staying sober

"SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – A new California bill would offer financial rewards to meth users who stay sober.

SB-888 was introduced this week by State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) in response to the increase in meth usage and overdose deaths across the state.

The bill would expand treatment options that qualify for Medi-Cal to include programs that use vouchers or cash to motivate meth users to stay sober.

Those who enroll in their positive reinforcement opportunity project get counseling and cash credits in the form of gift cards every time their urine tests come back negative for stimulants.

In a statement, Senator Wiener said the bill “intends to make these programs accessible on a wider scale by authorizing them to be reimbursable by Medi-Cal.”

Since 2008, meth overdoses have shot up 500%, according to officials."
