Some tragedies literally leave us speechless. I wonder if this will happen. One such news came out the other day. The event took place in Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA. Three-year-old boy’s mother dies after being shot.

The child shot at his mother on Wednesday morning. At this time, apart from the baby and the mother, only the grandmother of the child was present in the house. A three-year-old boy shot and killed his mother while playing with a gun found inside the house, authorities said.

While playing, the child got the gun kept at home. Before taking it back from the child’s hand, the child’s hand clapped and the gun fired. Unfortunately, it also landed on the mother’s body. She fell unconscious on the ground immediately after being shot. He was rushed to the hospital but died. 33-year-old Cora Lynn Bush had to face such a tragic end.

Police sought information from the child’s grandmother, who was an eyewitness to the incident. The police said that the statement of the grandmother and the circumstantial evidence obtained from the house were in agreement. Therefore, the police stated that there is no other mystery in the death. The police confirmed that the mother died from the child’s bullet.

But the police are investigating how the child got the gun and why he kept it so carefully at home. This is not the first time such a case has been reported.

In 2022, nearly 200 children were accidentally shot by guns and more than 80 died, according to data compiled by Everytown for Gun Safety, which works to prevent gun violence.
