[...] The child, aged two-and-a-half and identified by local media as a boy, fired the 40-calibre gun through the driver’s seat where his mother was at the wheel. |

Natural selection in its most pure form. I feel for the kid, not for the adult who screwed up. |

Seriously. Guns aren't a toy, every time one of these parents gets shot it's because they are being careless with the gun. |

Her boyfriend security guard left it under the seat of his car. She borrowed the car and the kid found the gun when is slid out from under the seat. That's away too often the way it happens. Sad. |

@ CT Then, the "security" guard boyfriend deserves the blame. My goodness! Sad, indeed. |

Yep. People that have guns have to realize they are a huge responsibility. Too many think that they are "responsible gun owners". Almost every one will tell you they are and they are, until they aren't. |

You don't get to be nominated for a Darwin Award unless you die. But yes, the cases are similar and the level of stupidity when it comes to the security of a firearm within their cars was inexcusable. |

The Boyfriend should face reckless endangerment, and involuntary manslaughter charges as well |

Was the toddler in a baby seat in the back. Had he been it would have been awfully hard to pick up a revolver from the floor board...potential Double Darwin awardee here! |

Another one? Well, technically the other mother lived after her kid shot her with the gun that slid to the back of the car. |

More toddlers have shot people in this country than ISIS terrorists have. |

Yehbut the kid didn't die. That's what you really need for a Darwin. For stoopidity leading to your own death without you intentionally doing it. |
