Mother Fatally Shot In Back By 2-Year-Old While Driving

Story out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin

A 2-year-old boy fatally shot his mother from the backseat of the car as she drove along a Milwaukee highway, relatives said Wednesday.

Antonio Price said investigators told him that his sister Patrice was driving with her two sons, ages 1 and 2, riding in the backseat Tuesday when she was shot. Price said authorities told him the older boy fired the gun.

Milwaukee County sheriff's department said in a statement that a 26-year-old woman was shot once in the back while driving on Highway 175 about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday and that the shooter appeared to have been a child in the backseat. The department did not identify the woman nor explain the relationship between her and the child.

Putnam County sheriff's officials said the boy had recently learned how to unbuckle himself. He climbed out of his seat, picked up the gun and fired through the front seat, hitting his mother in the back, investigators said. Cont.
