A 2yr old does not just “find” a gun and figure out how to use it. She was undoubtedly exposed to the weapon before in an unsafe manner before.
Meanwhile hundreds of millions of homes with weapons have nothing significant happen every day.
Heart breaking. This shouldn”t happen. As a parent, i protect my children. A simple lock box and this little angel would still be here.
