A two-year-old boy accidentally shot himself with his mother"s gun while seated in a car in Indiana on Monday. The incident occurred as his mother, 28-year-old Keyara Bickett, was parking the vehicle with her two children inside.
According to initial reports, the toddler, identified as Javarius, reached into his mother’s bag and pulled out a 9mm Glock. At that moment, Bickett realized her son was not buckled in. Tragically, before she could react, a shot rang out. Javarius"s sister provided a different account, stating she was holding her brother on her lap when she took out her phone to play a game.
