20-year-old Patrick Sanders from Houston, Texas, US, was shot in the face after he tried to wrestle a loaded gun away from a three-year-old boy.
Sanders had fallen asleep on the sofa when the firearm fell from his pocket and on to the floor.
As the boy went to pick up the gun, Sanders woke up and tried to take the weapon off the child but as he did it went off in his face.
Investigators say it isn't clear if the child had his finger on the trigger or if Sanders hit it as he lunged for the gun.
They are classing the incident as accidental and the investigation continues.
Sanders was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital where he remained in critical condition.
The little boy was unhurt.
