A 24-year-old man has pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm after a one-year-old baby was shot in the head with an air pistol in Bristol.

Jordan Walters appeared at Bristol Magistrates Court on Monday.

The child, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, is in a critical condition with head injuries at Bristol Children's Hospital.

Police were called to a flat in Bishport Avenue in the Hartcliffe area of Bristol shortly after 4pm on Friday when neighbours reported hearing a child "screaming and screaming".

Walters and his partner Emma Jane Horseman, 23, were both charged over the incident.

Horseman has not yet entered a plea to a charge of aiding or abetting Walters to commit the offence.

Prosecutor Lucy Coleman told the court: "The Crown's case is that Mr Walters is the owner of an air pistol. Miss Horseman is his partner."

She said the child was visiting Walters and Horseman with his mother when the air gun was fired.

"Unfortunately the gun was loaded," Miss Coleman said.

The prosecutor said Walters made a 999 shortly afterwards.

"During the call Mr Walters said he thought the gun was empty and he had accidentally shot the one-year-old child," she added.
