The three year old boy shot his very pregnant mother and his father in a motel room after finding a loaded handgun in his mom’s purse while he reached for her iPod. The toddler was sitting in the motel room in Albuquerque, New Mexico and he was also in the room with his two-year-old sister. He fired and shot his father Justin Reynolds, in the right buttock. The bullet then traveled out of Mr Reynolds’s hip and struck his long-term girlfriend in the arm, police said. The toddler’s mother, Miss Villescas, who is eight months’ pregnant, is said to be ‘seriously hurt.’ Police arrived quickly to the scene shortly after 2pm when Mr Reynolds called 911. The young boy and his sister will not be interviewed until a later time. The children are in state custody. Leading up to the incident, the boy’s parents were getting ready to order pizza in the room at America’s Best Value Inn, where the family was living.

Speaking of the incident Mr Reynolds said, “It was like if I was to get up shake your hand and sat back down. That’s how fast it happened. All of a sudden we heard a gun go off…The next minute I realized my girlfriend was bleeding. Then I sat down and realized I was shot too. I was more worried about my girlfriend than myself and anything else that was going on…And my son because I didn’t know if he had shot himself or not. He was shocked and crying.” Mr Reynolds has been released from the hospital and Albuquerque Police Department officer Simon Drobik told the newspaper that the pair will most likely be charged with felony criminal negligence over the incident. Drobik says, “The child did the damage, but it was because of the negligence of the adults that the child was able to do this..If you are going to be a gun owner, you need to lock it up and keep it safe.”
