Timothy Eubanks, 32, and his wife, Samantha Eubanks, also 32, both of Dearborn, face several charges.

Timothy was charged with six counts of second-degree child abuse. Samantha Eubanks was charged with 12 counts of second-degree child abuse and two counts of felony firearms violations.

Both stood mute to the charges.

Both Timothy and Samantha Banks' bonds were set at $20,000...

Dearborn's police chief said Thursday the two 3-year-old children shot and wounded by another 3-year-old*in September at an unlicensed daycare center will need "a lifetime of care."

"Physically, the children are healing up," Haddad also said. "One has more critical injuries than the other. But these types of injuries just don't go away."

The police chief said he wouldn't get into specifics of the case, such as how many shots were fired and how many guns police removed from the home, because the case is heading to court...
