On September 27, around 10:19 a.m., Samantha Eubanks discovered her 3-year-old had shot a 3-year-old-boy in the face and another 3-year-old boy in the shoulder. She was running a home daycare and was watching six children at the time.
According to a release, Timothy will be sentenced on July 10 at 9 a.m. His wife Samantha's case is scheduled for trial on July 26 at 9 a.m.
