— -- Investigators will meet with prosecutors to determine whether or not a crime was committed after two 3-year-olds were shot and injured by another toddler in Michigan, police said.

The Associated Press said the Wednesday morning shooting took place at a home day care facility in Dearborn, about 10 miles outside of Detroit.

Dearbon police said "a preliminary investigation revealed a toddler in the home accessed a handgun and the weapon discharged."
