A 4-year-old boy accidentally shot his pregnant mother after finding a loaded handgun inside their Seattle suburb home, authorities said.
The woman, who is eight months’ pregnant, and her boyfriend were in bed watching TV on Saturday afternoon when the boy walked in, found the handgun and shot his mother in the face, said Sgt. Ryan Abbott, a spokesman for the Kings County Sheriff’s Office.
The mother was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening wounds, though she is now in stable condition,Washington Post reports.
Her boyfriend, who is also the boy’s father, is under investigation for not securing the gun, which he borrowed from a friend, and “putting somebody at risk,” Abbott said.
