Pregnant mom shot by 4-year-old son after he finds loaded gun

A woman who is eight months pregnant was accidentally shot in the face by her 4-year-old son, officials in Skyway, Washington, outside of Seattle, say.

Deputies say the woman was lying in bed watching TV with her boyfriend Saturday night, when the boy reached between the mattress and the box spring and found a loaded gun.

The gun then went off somehow, according to authorities.

Sabrina, 27, whose last name has not been identified, is recovering after the Saturday night shooting. At 8 months pregnant, she was transferred to a birthing hospital when her condition improved.

So how exactly does a four year old 'reach between' a mattress and box spring with two ADULTS (one of whom is pregnant) lying on it.

Not buying it.

'Tis a bit odd. We need more details, but I feel sure LE needs them much more than we do.
In the face. Damm.

Yes, that and some nonchalance mixed-in.
This is awful. I hope we'll hear more.
Guns, guns, guns. Gun owners have an extra chore added to their responsibilities as parents -- proper gun storage and safety. Many people do this, and their families are safe. Those who don't should be held accountable by very serious laws and punishment.
