An off-duty MTA police officer accidentally discharged his weapon at his Long Island home Tuesday, shooting his 3-year-old son in the chest, authorities said.
The child underwent surgery to remove the bullet and was listed in stable condition Wednesday afternoon.
The transit officer was also hit by a bullet when the gun discharged at his Smithtown home; he was listed in stable condition at the hospital.
It wasn't clear if multiple shots were fired, or if the bullet ricocheted.
