US woman accidentally shot dead by 2 year old son

Post by Malachite »

30 December 2014

A woman in the US state of Idaho has been killed after her two-year-old son accidentally shot her with a gun he found when reaching into her handbag.

The woman, named by the local sheriff's office as Veronica J Rutledge, 29, was shot in a Wal-Mart in Hayden, a town in Idaho's northern panhandle.


Why do people feel the need to go out and about tooled up?....I can't recall ever feeling the need for carrying any sort of weapon for day to day stuff like shopping in a supermarket....But,the constitution must be defended and people clearly need to be able to go around the shops packing heat more than they need protecting from their own stupidity and irresponsibility.

I don't get how how a two year old could fire a properly safed pistol in the presumably short period of time he had control of it. Im assuming it wasn't safed

How does anyone explain to that kid when he's older why he doesn't have a mom?

LoL wait, this happened at Walmart? And she was carrying a loaded gun in her purse? Oh wow.

I am not generally against people owning guns on principal, but they need to do a better job of knowing who they are giving to. Not everyone can handle the responsibility that comes with owning a gun.

Nigga has a loaded gun in her purse that can go off at any minute if something tugs on it hard enough. She killed herself.
