The boys' parents were at work, and they were home with their grandfather.

He heard the shot while he was in the shower. Once he discovered what had happened, he called 911.

The 9-year-old boy was hit in the cheek, and the bullet passed through the back of his jaw.

He was taken to Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. Doctors said he suffered only soft-tissue damage, and his injuries were non-life-threatening.
