Woman accidentally shot and killed by 2-year-old in Walmart Store

A two-year-old boy has accidentally shot and killed a 29-year-old woman in an American supermarket.

 

Reports from the US said the gun went off when the toddler pulled a handgun from the woman's purse and fired it accidentally.

 

The woman had been shopping with four children in the Walmart store in Idaho and was in the shop's electronics department when the tragedy happened.

 

 Local reports claimed the woman was the toddler’s mother, but police did not immediately confirm their relationship.

 

Kootenai County Sherriff’s spokesman Stu Miller says the preliminary investigation shows the shooting was accidental and that the woman had a concealed weapons permit.

 

The Hayden, Idaho store will be closed to shoppers during the investigation.
