GRANBURY, TEXAS —
A handgun went off in the hands of a toddler in a Walmart parking lot in Texas on Wednesday, injuring the child’s mother in the arm and side and a young sibling in the leg, police said.
The shooting happened in Granbury, Texas, about 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth.
Police said the gun was fired once when the 2-year-old took it out between a seat and the center console while he was in the car with a 1-year-old sibling and his 23-year-old mother was standing outside near the driver’s side door . The children’s 26-year-old father stood near the rear of the vehicle, police said.
The mother and the one-year-old were taken to Fort Worth hospitals, but neither was seriously injured, Police Lt. Russell Grizzard said.
Police are still investigating and have not yet decided whether to file charges, Grizzard said.
Correction:
This story has the children’s age corrected. Police say the child who was shot was 1 month old, not 3, and the child who fired the gun was 2, not 1.
