Woman takes her four kids shopping. Woman puts her two-year-old son in the shopping cart. Woman puts her purse in the shopping cart next to him.
Two-year-old reaches into mom's purse and pulls out a loaded, chambered handgun without a safety. Kid shoots and kills mom.
The victim’s father-in-law, Terry Rutledge, told Associated Press that she “was a beautiful, young, loving mother.”First, the kids were the victims here. Everyone else in the store were victims. The woman was the perpetrator.
“She was not the least bit irresponsible,” he said. “She was taken much too soon.”
Second, the woman was ABSOLUTELY irresponsible. She took a firearm, loaded it, chambered a round, put it in her purse without a safety, then put that purse next to a child and left them unattended long enough for the kid to reach in there and get it.
The only bright spot is that the irresponsible perpetrator was killed, rather than some innocent bystander.
