A 29-year-old mother was shot and killed after two-year-old son accidentally shot with her own gun Tuesday morning, local authorities said.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s office said Veronica Rutledge was shopping inside a Walmart Tuesday morning when her toddler accessed the gun concealed inside her purse and discharged it, striking her. The child was seated inside the shopping cart next to the purse.
Deputies responded to the scene around 10:20 a.m. for reports of a shooting inside the store. After investigating the scene, detectives said “the shooting appears to be accidental.”
Local media reported that Rutledge was shopping with four kids, including her son, but it’s unclear if they were all related to her.
Also, Rutledge was reportedly visiting the area for the holidays. She did have a concealed weapon issued from Washington state, however, Idaho recognizes permits from other states as long as the person keeps the permit with them when he or she carries, according to the Idaho attorney general’s website.
Walmart officials closed the store, but plans to reopen at 6 a.m. on Dec. 31.

Another ‘story’ to support the gun grabbing agenda.. I suppose it’s a coincidence that the UN gun ban is in the works as we speak…as always, the timing is impeccable..
