A two-year-old boy reached into his mother's purse, grabbed her concealed gun and accidentally shot and killed the woman during a shopping trip to Wal-Mart, authorities said, AP reported. Veronica J. Rutledge, 29, was shopping Tuesday with her son and three nieces when the boy grabbed the small-caliber handgun, which discharged once, Kootenai County sheriff's spokesman Stu Miller said. Miller said the boy had been left in a shopping cart with the purse. "It appears to be a pretty tragic accident," Miller said. Rutledge had a concealed weapons permit. About 7 percent of adults in Idaho had concealed weapons permits at the end of 2012, according to the Crime Prevention Research Center. That ranked the western state among the top third of states. -- SPA 23:24 LOCAL TIME 20:24 GMT تغريد
