(35 minutes later) | |
A two-year-old boy has accidentally shot and killed his mother in the US city of Milwaukee after finding a gun in the back of their car. | |
The woman, Patrice Price, had been driving a car owned by her security guard boyfriend who had left his gun in the car, her father Andre said. | |
Milwaukee police said she was shot once in the back while driving on a local highway on Tuesday morning. | |
Also in the car were Price's mother and her other son aged one. | |
Mr Price said she also had an older daughter, and described Patrice as "hardworking". | |
"Now I don't have her no more. My chest has been hurting," Mr Price told Milwaukee station WISN. | |
"I have a knot in my chest. They won't even let me see my daughter. I wanted to hold my daughter for one last time." | |
Last month, a four-year-old boy in Florida shot his mother, Jamie Gilt, in similar circumstances. | |
A gun had slid from underneath the front seat of the car to the back and he unbuckled himself to get it. Ms Gilt survived the shooting. |
