A woman in the US state of Idaho has been killed after her
two-year-old son accidentally shot her with a gun he found when reaching into
her handbag. The woman, named by the local sheriff's office as Veronica J
Rutledge, 29, was shot in a Wal-Mart in Hayden, a town in Idaho's northern
panhandle, BBC reports.
Officials said Ms Rutledge had had a concealed weapons
permit. She and her children had been in the rear of the store near the
electronics area when the shooting occurred, they said.
The Wal-Mart closed after the shooting and is not expected
to reopen until Wednesday.
