Boy, 3, accidentally shoots dad, mom with her gun

Sunday February 1, 2015 10:49 PM
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A 3-year-old boy shot and wounded his father and pregnant mother with a 9?mm handgun that he pulled out of the woman’s purse while searching for an iPad, police said Sunday.

Both parents needed hospital treatment for injuries that were not life-threatening after the bullet went through his father’s buttocks and into his mother’s shoulder, Albuquerque Police Officer Simon Drobik said.

The woman, who is 8 months pregnant, is being kept in the hospital for observation. The man has been released, said Drobik, who was the first to arrive at the Albuquerque motel where Saturday afternoon’s shooting occurred.

“On the kid’s side, it’s a horrible accident that happened, but the parents are still culpable,” he said. “They should have secured the gun.”

The couple could face a felony negligence charge. The child does not face a criminal charge, the officer said.

The woman told police she had bought the gun the day before the incident, Drobik said. The man is not legally allowed to have a gun because he is a felon.

The family, including a 2-year-old girl and the children’s grandmother, had been living in the motel for about a week with their two pit bulls when the incident occurred.

After the shooting, the children were placed with child protective services for at least 48 hours. The dogs were taken by animal-control workers.
