Fair Grove man faces felony charges after gunshot wound found in child
DALLAS COUNTY, Mo. — A man from Fair Grove faces several felony child abuse and neglect charges after a reported dog bite of a child led to the discovery of a more serious injury. According to court dockets, Dustin Lee Stephenson, born 1987, is charged with one count of abuse or neglect of a child causing serious emotional or physical injury, as well as three counts of abuse or neglect of a child, in Dallas County Circuit Court. The probable cause statement says the incident occurred on April 10, 2023, when law enforcement from the Dallas County Sheriff's Office (DCSO) were dispatched to a location in Dallas County for a child who had been bitten on the hand and in the genital area by a pit bull dog. The statement says a nurse at Citizen Memorial Hospital's (CMH) emergency room called the DCSO to take a look at the child because they felt there was more to the story than just a dog bite. The DCSO arrived at the CMH emergency room, where they met with Stephenson and the victim. The statement says that at the ER, Stephenson told the DCSO he had been putting on clothing when he heard the dog make a 'grunt' type of noise. When he looked up, the victim had blood on her hand and her belly. He told the DCSO that the dog was killed in the residence's backyard. The statement says around an hour later — after the ER put the victim under anesthesia to perform more cleanup and inspect of the wounds around her genital area — dispatch advised the DCSO that the ER had discovered a bullet lodged in the victim's pelvis area through X-rays. Noel woman dies after being struck by a car on the highway Law enforcement returned to the ER, where they were informed that the dog bite injury to the victim's genital area was, in fact, an entrance wound. A projectile bullet was lodged in her pelvis area near her tail bone, the statement says. The DCSO met with Stephenson and a witness in the hospital room, and neither one could explain the victim's injuries. Stephenson confirmed he owned guns, and according to him, they were locked in a cabinet. Stephenson said that after the dog bite incident, he had to unlock the cabinet to get a .38 revolver to kill the dog. One of the incident's witnesses fired six rounds into the dog. That day, the DCSO was granted a search warrant for the residence where the incident occurred. During the search, they recovered a black Taurus .38 revolver and a box of ammunition. They also found a bloody diaper with a bullet entrance hole. The bullet was removed from the victim at Cardinal Glennon Hospital in St. Louis. The bullet had entered her vagina labia and passed through and lodged in her rectum. She was fitted with a colostomy bag. The DCSO retrieved the bullet from the hospital on April 12, 2023. The DCSO conducted forensic interviews with the other three children who were in the home during the time of the incident. In an interview with one child, he said he was 'trying to shoot the car because the car was mad,' the statement says. The child said he retrieved the gun from the black cabinet in his father's room. The interview was discontinued after the child provided different accounts of the incident. When the DCSO interviewed Stephenson, he maintained that he thought the dog had bit the victim and that the firearm from the incident had been locked in a cabinet when he went to retrieve it to kill the dog, the statement says. Stephenson stated it is possible that the cabinet was not locked, and that it was possible one of the child witnesses had obtained the firearm, had an accidental discharge and shot the victim, and then returned the firearm to the cabinet while he was asleep, according to the statement. Stephenson is currently held in the Dallas County Jail with a $60,000 bond. He's due in court on June 10. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

NRA legislative expert says gun rights could see 'most monumental' win in Congress since 2005
Congress advanced two bills this week aimed at expanding the rights of law-aiding gun owners. One of them, according to a legislative expert from the National Rifle Association, would mark the "most monumental" win for Second Amendment rights in more than 20 years, if signed into law. H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Cary Reciprocity Act, and H.R. 2184, the Firearm Due Process Protection Act, were debated and passed out of committee on Tuesday. This was the first step before the bills could be considered by the full House of Representatives and ultimately the Senate. H.R. 38, which seeks to implement nationwide reciprocity for concealed carry permits, would allow law-abiding gun owners with a permit in one state to carry in another state that also permits concealed carry but may not have reciprocity. "The right of self-defense shouldn't end simply because you cross the state line," said John Commerford, executive director of the NRA's congressional lobbying arm. "Passage of H.R. 38 — concealed carry reciprocity — would be the most monumental win for gun rights in Congress since 2005, when the Protection of Lawful Commerce and Arms Act was passed." Supreme Court Upholds Biden Admin 'Ghost Gun' Regulation While more than half of the nation's states have reciprocity laws, H.R. 38 would allow people with concealed carry permits in gun-friendly states to carry concealed firearms in places like Los Angeles and Chicago — cities in states that do not have reciprocity laws but do allow concealed carry. Read On The Fox News App Under current law, if a lawful gun owner from Pennsylvania were to cross the Delaware River into New Jersey with a concealed weapon, they could face "at least" a three-year mandatory prison sentence, according to Commerford. And while Second Amendment advocates like Commerford say they are hopeful about the potential for federal-level reciprocity for concealed carry, he and others like him fear it will add to the nation's ongoing gun violence crisis. "This legislation is a dramatic infringement on states' rights and would be disastrous for gun crime and law enforcement safety in our country," said Emma Brown, executive director at the gun control advocacy group Giffords. "Violent crime rises when state concealed carry standards are weakened, and this would weaken the standard in every single state. It would also endanger police and make their jobs harder." Blue State Gop Rep Forced To Remove 2A Sticker From Laptop: 'Offensive' The second bill advanced this week on Capitol Hill was H.R. 2184. It aims to enhance the rights of people wanting to purchase a firearm who may be denied as the result of errors in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). If a buyer appeals a judgment denying their right to purchase a firearm on the grounds that there was an error, H.R. 2184 would require federal officials to make a determination on their appeal within 60 days. If an answer is not provided within the two-month timeline, gun owners can then seek a court judgment to obtain one. "If your name is John Smith and you fill out a NICS check on Black Friday at Cabela's to buy a firearm, you're going to be in for a wait, and sometimes you're going to be in for clerical errors that could restrict that [purchase]," Commerford said. "With a pro-gun House, a pro-gun Senate, and a pro-gun president in the White House, now is the time to put the foot on the gas and try to restore Second Amendment rights of America's gun owners." Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment but did not receive a response in time for article source: NRA legislative expert says gun rights could see 'most monumental' win in Congress since 2005
