CLAYMONT, Del. (WPVI) -- A New Castle County man has now been charged in connection with the accidental shooting of a toddler back in September.

The little boy shot himself, when he found a gun.

34-year-old Anthony Graves is charged with unlawfully permitting a minor access to a firearm. He's also facing charges of endangering the welfare of a child.

The shooting happened inside his home in the Valley Run development of Claymont.

The 2-year-old shot himself in the head.

He was originally in critical condition, but officials say he's expected to be discharged from the hospital later this month.
