According to the report, an investigation determined that the gun went off accidentally while Roshun Smith Jr. was changing the baby’s diaper.

John Gerard was at the Chuck E. Cheese location on Saturday with his wife and toddler daughter, and spoke to WBRC about the tragedy.

“You don’t expect anyone would bring a gun around where kids would be. It just doesn’t make any sense,” Gerrard said.
