Edd Jeffery Taylor, 27, of Orlando, was charged with aggravated child neglect and leaving a firearm within access of a minor after his daughter was injured at about 8:30 p.m. at their Silver Pines apartment.

The girl was airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center with a gunshot wound to her right hip and leg area in serious condition.
