A toddler riding in the back of a car accidentally shot dead his
mother with a gun that slid out from under the driver's seat on Tuesday April 26 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The 26-year-old victim, Patrice Price, was
pronounced dead at the scene, the local sheriff's office said. The child, aged two
and a half and identified by local media as a boy, fired the 40-calibre
gun through the driver's seat where his mother was at the wheel.
"Initial witness accounts indicate that a child in the backseat of the
vehicle got a hold of a gun and discharged the firearm, sending a single
bullet into the driver’s back," the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office
said in a statement. "The investigation into the death is ongoing."
Local broadcaster WISN quoted the victim's father Andre Price as saying that she was a hardworking mother of three.
"This
little girl right here meant everything in the world to me,” Andre
Price told the station. And I lost the other half of my heart," Mr Price
said.
"Now I don’t have her no more. My chest has been hurting. I have a knot in my chest. They won’t even let me see my daughter. I
wanted to hold my daughter for one last time."
The
weapon apparently belonged to the victim's security guard boyfriend,
with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper reporting that she was
driving his car because hers had been stolen days earlier.
The
sheriff's office said that deputies found a security officer's gun belt
belonging to the boyfriend on the floor of the front passenger seat. The
firearm was recovered on the floor behind the driver's seat.
AP reports that in the vehicle was another of Price's children, aged one, and the
woman's mother. Neither of the children was in a car seat. Price's
mother told relatives that her daughter turned to her after a loud pop
rang out and said:
"Momma, don't let me die," WISN reported.
Following
the shooting, fellow motorists stopped and pushed the car out of
traffic before police arrived and performed CPR on Price while awaiting
the arrival of emergency medical personnel.
Asia Nelson, Price's best friend, told FOX6: "Patrice was
one-of-a-kind! She was loving, caring and kindhearted. She always had
positive things to say no matter what she was going through."

You're very foolish, did your lazy foolish brain even allow you to red the story and see that it was not her car? Waste of mud that is what u are
So, what will they tell the boy when he grows up? U shot/killed ur mom? It is well
What will they tell the boy when he grows up? U shot/killed your mom? It is well..
Rest is peace. So painful, first I never saw a good reasoning children are given guns as toys, a child that has never seen a gun b4 will never know how to shoot, he could have shot himself, it's so unfortunate. When will America take down this gun availability.
See gobe...

LIB ADDICT#just passing#
This is ridiculous, why would you have a gun in the first instance? Even if u av a license for d gun or u r a force woman, u shouldn't have left d gun with d baby, d baby doesn't know anything, d baby felt is a Toy... I want to assume we have brains to think and even if you want to keep d gun with ur child, u shuld av kept it unloaded.. Anyways God knows d best.... Rest in Perfect peace
Not true. We've been there too.give us 5 googleable examples
This is just tragedy. The family should not tell the boy he shot his mum, even when he is older. They should tell him his mum took a bullet for him cos he could have shot himself as a child he is.
Madness of d highest order. Y keep a loaded gun within d reach of a baby. American society madness beats me walahi.
And they are refusing the anti gun bill! How many of these 'accidental'deaths this month only huh?!
RIP...this is so sad. But come to think of it...a gun is heavy...and hw can a two year old lift it abeg let alone aim. This kind of story rips me off like reapoff ...Anyway sha...Accept my condolences.
This is really bad. RIP lady
Sad news. Why leave gun where kids finds it??? Rip. I pray d son get over d trauma when he grows. Looking back n knowing u killed ur precious mum ..... dats a heavy pain.
WHAT A WORLD,LEARN FROM OTHERS.NO CHILD IS TOO SMALL.BE CARE FULL.
