Rock Hill 2-year-old finds loaded gun, shoots grandmother in back
(10-12-15) A 2-year-old Rock Hill boy accidentally shot his grandmother, police say, after he found a loaded .357 revolver in the car they were riding in and pulled the trigger.
The shooting happened just after 1 p.m. Sunday as the car passed through the intersection of Ogden Road and Heckle Boulevard in southern Rock Hill, police records show. The 40-year-old victim told officers she heard the gun go off and realized she had been shot in the back.
When the boy’s great-aunt, who was driving the car, turned around to see what had happened, she told police, the boy “had the gun in both hands and began to cry.”
Police initially said the boy was 4, but later learned he is 2. The mistake happened due to “confusion at the scene” on Sunday, a spokesman said.
Capt. Mark Bollinger, spokesman for the Rock Hill Police Department, said the great-aunt is the legal owner of the gun.
Before the shooting, the boy’s relatives had picked him up from another family member’s home, according to police. The gun had been left in a pouch on the back of the car’s passenger seat.
“We’re still trying to figure out how the child pulled the trigger,” Bollinger said, adding that the boy was wearing a seat belt but was not in a carseat
After the shooting, the police report states, the boy’s great-aunt drove the car to a family member’s home on nearby Stanley Drive. The boy’s grandmother was treated at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte with non-life threatening injuries, Bollinger said.
