A man's been arrested in connection with a shooting -- but not for the shooting, itself.  Shreveport detectives say the Tuesday evening shooting that left a 12-year-old boy seriously wounded in the 7500 block of Fairfield was an accident, but that the man who was handling the gun at the time it went off wasn't supposed to be anywhere near a gun.

They've arrested 33-year-old Brandon Mack, who lives about three blocks away from where the shooting occurred, and booked him into the Shreveport City Jail on a charge of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
