PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Two parents in Westmoreland County were arrested after police found guns and ammunition in an apartment where a child was left unattended.

When officers got there, they found the little girl unsupervised, screaming, and crying. 

After obtaining a search warrant, police found drug paraphernalia, a large amount of guns, and ammunition, as well as other items the child could have harmed herself with.
