Cops: Boy, 3, shot self with gun he found in mother's purse

By DAN SEWELL(0) Comments
CINCINNATI (AP) — A 3-year-old boy had been playing with a handgun he found in his home before fatally shooting himself in the chest with it, police said Friday.

In audio tape of a 911 call released by Hamilton police, a woman identifying herself as the mother of Marques Green said she carried the gun in her purse and had set her purse down after getting home.

"My son just shot himself, and I'm not getting a pulse," Elizabeth Green screamed Thursday afternoon. "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I'm not getting a pulse ... I don't think he's alive!"

It's the second apparently accidental gunshot death of a young person this month in Hamilton, a city of 62,000 people nearly 30 miles north of Cincinnati.

Maybe if we started talking and gettoing to know each other, we would not think we need guns to defend against "not us".

or maybe even get me banned.

I'll just say this: all those who think guns make us safer are wrong. And here's one more dead kid demonstrating that simple fact.

because their little index fingers aren't strong enough to pull the trigger so they use their thumbs. If there is a button it will be pushed. If there is a knob it will be twisted. If there is a gun it will be found.
