A two-year-old boy has accidentally shot and killed a woman after he reached into her purse at a Wal-Mart store in the US and the concealed gun fired.
Kootenai County sheriff’s spokesman Stu Miller said that the woman was shopping with several children, and it is unclear how they are related. Authorities originally said that the boy was the woman’s son.
Officials said the woman had a concealed weapons permit.
Mr Miller said the shooting was accidental and occurred in the Wal-Mart in Hayden, Idaho. The store closed after the shooting.
Hayden is a politically conservative town of about 9,000 people.
