Toddler Shoots Fatally Mother While Playing With Unsecured Firearm
How on earth does a 2-year-old get a hold of a loaded gun? Ask 18-year-old Andrew Sanchez of Fresno, California, whose firearm somehow ended up in the hands of a child, resulting in the death of a 22-year-old mother.
Sanchez was arrested inside the couple’s apartment after the toddler discharged the unsecured firearm, fatally wounding his mother, Jessinya Mina, with a single 9mm round to the upper body. Sanchez and Mina were reportedly relaxing in bed on the evening of Friday, December 6 when a “preventable” tragedy took place, according to the Fresno Police Department.
