Authorities say drugs and alcohol were found at the scene of an accidental shooting.

Bryon John Lewis Watts, 24, faces six criminal charges following an incident in which he allegedly shot Zachary Dostal with a .22 caliber pistol.

Court documents do not indicate if Watts was high on drugs when he allegedly shot Dostal, but Watts tested positive for opiates and marijuana following the incident.

Watts was charged with aggravated assault, unauthorized possession of a controlled substance, unauthorized ingestion of a controlled substance, reckless discharge of a firearm, ingestion of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to court documents, a "marijuana smoking pipe and bong" were found at the scene of the shooting. Two glass smoking devices with marijuana residue were also found, as well as firearm ammunition, white pills identified as Vicodin and hydrocodone, "snort tubes" and several containers with marijuana residue.

Numerous alcoholic beverages were also found at the scene.

A 2-year-old who died in an accidental shooting has been identified.

The Colbert County Sheriff says the accidental shooting happened at a home on Highway 157 in Leighton.

The child was taken to Helen Keller Hospital where he later passed away.

Frank Williamson, the Colbert County Sheriff, said this is a tragedy. Williamson says they are not releasing any information about the death investigation at this time.

The Colbert County Coroner took himself off the case because he knows the family.

The Franklin County Coroner took over the case and said the child's body was sent to Huntsville for an autopsy.

Colbert County Association of Volunteer Fire Departments President, Chief Kelly Aday, said the child's name is Robert Michael Reaves.

The boy's father is the Spring Valley Volunteer Fire Department Chief, according to Aday.

An 8-year-old Port Orange boy is dead after police say he accidentally shot himself while at home with an older brother and a great-grandfather.

Police said the child, who hasn't yet been identified, died about an hour after being rushed to the hospital from a home on Hudson Lane.

The boy was in the kitchen, where he was apparently playing with a 9 millimeter handgun and it went off, hitting him in the chest. It's still unclear to whom the gun belongs, whether it was properly secured or how the boy got hold of it.

"We're going to investigate this and try to find out exactly what happened. Right now, our thoughts and our prayers go out to the child and his family,” Port Orange Police Chief Thomas Grimaldi told WESH 2.

Fayette County Commissioner Vincent Vicites remains hospitalized after being shot, allegedly by his wife, and the district attorney said any talk of it being an accidental shooting is false.

"It is absolutely not an accident," District Attorney Rich Bower said Monday. "This is an intentional, knowing, reckless and/or negligent act where Mr. Vicites could have been killed."

Police said Deanna Vicites, 47, is charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and a firearms violation in the shooting of her husband. She is being held in the county prison on $250,000 cash bond, awaiting a preliminary hearing on July 26.

Bower said Deanna Vicites has told "varying and different stories" about what happened at the house.

It's unclear if Deanna Vicites has an attorney who can comment on her charges and the statements made by the district attorney. None was listed on her docket sheet.

Deanna Vicites pleaded guilty in 2003 to a charge of conspiracy to commit burglary. Bower said since she has a felony on her record, she is not legally allowed to possess a firearm.
