Toddler shoots father, pregnant mother at New Mexico motel - Yahoo News: "On the kid's side, it's a horrible accident that happened, but the parents are still culpable," Drobik said. "They should have secured the gun."
The couple could face felony negligence charges. The child does not face criminal charges, Drobik said.
The woman told police she purchased the gun the day before the incident, Drobik said. The man is not legally allowed to have a firearm because he has previously been convicted of a felony crime.
The family, including a two-year-old girl and the children's grandmother, had been living in an America's Best Value Inn for about a week with their two pit bulls when the incident occurred.
Following the shooting, the children were placed with child protective services for at least 48 hours. The dogs were taken by animal control staff.
