A 3-year-old boy got a hold of a handgun from his mother's purse and fired just one shot that wounded both his parents, US local police say.
Albuquerque police said the child apparently reached for an iPod but found the loaded weapon instead.
The bullet first struck his father in the buttocks and then hit the shoulder of his mother, who is eight months pregnant.
His two-year-old sister was present but not hurt.
Local media reports said police believe the shooting on Saturday was accidental.
Police said the father was treated and released, while the mother was hospitalised in stable condition.
They will be investigated for possible negligence charges.
Police said child care officials are taking care of the children.

You always have to kinda blame the parents for this. Why was it loaded?

What I want to know is how did he hit his dad's ass, then manages to hit his mom's shoulder, with the same bullet, because a bullet ricocheting off someone's butt, into someone's shoulder is a little beyond my imagination.....

A toddler has no idea the weight of the situation. You always, like Mickers said, have to look towards the parents in stuff like this. Why was it loaded, and why the world is the safety off, especially when you have toddler running around.

I'm not anti-gun, but I don't understand why you would have a loaded firearm in the reach of a child.

Introducing FaZe Toddler
It's the mother's fault entirely for leaving a loaded handgun in a purse that's in reach of a clueless 3 year old child.

Mickers wrote You always have to kinda blame the parents for this. Why was it loaded?one they are probably from the hood and no one carries there gun not loaded but the fact it was a 9mm and they didn't have the safety on it would've been a lot different if he had gotten ahold of a revolver that doesn't have a real safety. In this case I see dumb ass people who didn't have the safety on and 2 had the toddler by it anyways knowing the didn't have safety on its not sad more of smdh
