a baby shot in the head with an air rifle

If the baby was shot in the head, why did the 2 year old need to go to the hospital?

Two-year-old Harry Studley was taken to hospital

Older forms of English called children “babies” and “infants” until they were 6 or 7ish years old. If you read old accounts and diaries from 300 years ago, it’s weird to have them talking about a baby or infant and suddenly they mention that it’s actually a 6 year old. I’m guessing they do something similar in England, although maybe not to as old of an age.
