St Paul (KROC AM News) - A Minnesota man who was prohibited from possessing guns is facing a possible prison sentence after pleading guilty in a case involving the death of a young child.

During an appearance in US District Court in St Paul Thursday, 34-year-old Philip Jones of Moorhead pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm in his residence.

According to court documents, while Jones was away from the residence a visiting child found the loaded gun under a large snack chip box in the kitchen. The gun went off, hitting and killing a 6-year-old boy.

Investigators learned that three other juveniles were present in the residence at the time of the incident.

Because Jones has multiple prior felony convictions in Hennepin and Anoka Counties, federal law prohibits him from possessing firearms or ammunition at any time.

A sentencing date has not been set.

Private 1960 Hilltop Rochester Minnesota Home Has Hidden Pool

Designed by Ellerbe and Company in 1959, this home isn't "a step back in time", but it is a step into the image you have about 1950's/60's homes from TV shows and movies.

Plus, its super private, just up the hill from Bamber Valley Elementary. Most of the homes in that area are a marvel to see (take a walk up there sometimes, I think you'd really like it. Lots of trees and homes set way back).

Enjoy this home at 2410 Hillside Lane SW in Rochester. It could be yours for just under $900,000.
