“We’re still trying to figure out how the child pulled the trigger”, Bollinger said, adding that detectives have learned the boy was wearing a seat belt but was not in a auto seat.
The accident happened in Rock Hill, South Carolina, earlier this week.
The young boy “had the gun in both hands and began to cry”, the newspaper reported.
“The gun should have never been that accessible”, said Rock Hill police Capt. Mark Bollinger.
A two-year-old South Carolina boy shot his grandmother after finding a gun in the vehicle he was riding in. That’s when the grandmother said she’d been hit by the bullet in the back. “He is infatuated with guns”. I didn’t know that.
The woman was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. She is expected to recover.
Bollinger says the injured woman’s sister owns the revolver.
“People are asking: ‘Why did she have a gun in this place?’ I don’t carry children”.
Shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday, Rock Hill Police were dispatched to a gunshot victim at 1159 Stanley Dr. When officers arrived, they found a woman sitting in an orange Chevrolet Camaro who had taken one shot to her back.
Without getting political on the issue of guns, I think we can all agree that if you own a gun, you must, must store it safely, and keep it locked, and out the reach of children. “Especially around small children”.
