RICHMOND (NEWS1130) - A 53-year old Richmond man accused of shooting a six-year old boy with a gun earlier this week has now been charged.

Fang Chi is charged with pointing a firearm and careless use of a firearm, among other charges. The boy, who is visiting from China, had surgery yesterday and is expected to be okay.

“We are very fortunate that the boy’s injuries weren’t more severe," says Cpl. Sherrdean Turley. "We all need to keep in mind that firearms are extremely dangerous and need to be treated with respect.”

Mounties say Chi is sorry for what happened.
