Authorities in Idaho say a two-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed a woman after he reached into her purse at a Wal-Mart store and the concealed gun fired.
Kootenai County sheriff’s spokesman Stu Miller tells reporters that the shooting was accidental and occurred in the store in Hayden, Idaho, a town about 64 kilometres northeast of Spokane, Washington.
Miller says the woman had a concealed weapons permit. Her identity has not been released.
The Wal-Mart closed after the shooting.
Hayden is a politically conservative town of about 9,000 people just north of Coeur d’Alene in Idaho’s northern panhandle.
