A 3-year-old boy shot his father and pregnant mother over
the weekend inside a hotel room in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Police say the boy
removed a handgun from his mother's purse Saturday and fired one shot, striking
his father in the lower backside. The bullet apparently exited through the
father's hip and hit the mother in the right shoulder. She is eight months
pregnant, said Officer Simon Drobik of the Albuquerque Police Department. The
father was treated and released from the hospital while the mother was
hospitalized in stable condition. The condition of her unborn child is unknown.
The boy and his 2-year-old sister, who was also in the hotel room, are under
the care of the Children's Youth and Families department. They were not injured
in the incident.http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/01/us/new-mexico-toddler-shoots-parents/index.htmlThis should show us that guns seriously are no toys, we need
to take precaution and be aware of the power someone has while in control of
such a weapon.
why would the mother carry a gun in her purse knowing she has 2 very young children and her being pregnant with another one. its just not safe. she shouldve thought of that. Sharon cordon 4th period
ReplyDeleteI support the right to bear arms, but people need to be more careful about having their weapons in places where children can get to them.
ReplyDeleteIt is truly disturbing that parents of a young child are so negligent; allowing people like this to bear arms is potentially more harmful to society then helpful.

I definitely agree with Vivie, allowing people like this to bear arms could be more harmful then helpful.
