An mother who had taken her children to Walmart was killed Tuesday when her 2-year-old son pulled a loaded pistol from her purse and shot her.
At about 10:20 a.m., the 29-year-old and several of her children were in the electronics section of the store when the young boy, who was sitting in the shopping cart, reportedly grabbed a gun that was in his mother’s purse and fired it. According to KXLY, the woman died at the scene.
The Walmart was subsequently evacuated, and employees were told not to comment on what had happened while authorities investigated.
