Why does so much happen at WALMART?

[quietpal]

I just read that story yesterday. Such a sad story. Even though the child is two, I can't imagine what his years of growing up will be like. I don't understand why the mom had the gun in her purse and had the purse within reach of the two-year-old. I pray for that family.

Yes indeed, this is a very sad story it could have happen anywhere not just Walmart.

Did you hear about the 2 year old that shot his Mom in walmart ? so much has been happening in walmarts lately, what a sad story

Yea, that was sad!

Most people spend a percentage of their lives in Walmart...things are going to happen.  I love Walmart and when I hear stories like the 2 year old child....I feel it could have happened anywhere.

No.That is so tragic. I find it hard to find reasons for such behavior. How can we keep our youth more innocent of such brutality. I blame social media for making their reality no longer a face-to-face world. But yet they can reach the world with the push of a button. Less than 60 seconds. But we can't go back and the increase in technology makes evverything speedier.

I think it was K-Mart where a black child was killed because he was playing with a toy gun.  That's the norm though here in America, shoot first, ask questions later I guess.

How sad.  I wonder what it will be like when he is older and is told your mother is dead because you shot her when you were two. How awful.

Don't you wonder how that is even possible. What was she doing with a loaded gun in her purse. So weird.

It is not weird.  People every where have guns for protection.

I agree, this was such a sad story. Although the mom had a gun permit, why would she carry the gun in a purse near her little one? She should've kept it in her glove compartment or at home. And also, the mom should've kept a closer eye on her child. Her purse should've been on her shoulder. I think there was another child nearby, but yes, this is so sad....I feel really bad for this family.

Yeah it's gonna do a lot of good in the glove box in the car if she needs it.  There was nothing wrong with her carrying the gun and carrying in her purse which had a special compartment for the gun.  She should have made more effort to teach her child not to touch the gun.  The story is not clear.  Some are saying he grabbed it and pulled the trigger and others are saying he grabbed the purse and the gun went off.  I am not sure how anybody knows for sure unless they watch security video because from what I have read there were not witnesses just people who I guess ran over after the gun fired.

What I don't understand is if the mother had the gun in her purse, didn't she have the purse closed while in a store?  I don't have a gun in my purse, but when I go into a store I always zip it closed.  And if it was closed, did she not feel her child opening it and feeling through it for the gun?  I think I would be aware if someone put their hand in my purse and was feeling around in it.  Just saying.....

If the purse was in the buggy how would she "feel" him with his hand in it.  And fyi I do not keep my purse zipped when I am in a store.  Most people don't.

It was not a "TOY" gun.  It was an air rifle.  And the cop told him to PUT THE GUN DOWN and he ignored him.  I saw a toy gun at Walmart this Christmas season.  I swear it looked like a real 45.  If a kid or whomever points that exact gun at me they will get shot with a real gun.  And I don't think it was a "KID" but more like an 18 year old.  Old enough to know when a cop tells you to do something you do it.  I will also admit the 911 call reporting the teen with the air rifle was totally bogus.  And the guy who made the calls should be arrested.  He said the teen was pointing the gun at people and I think even said he had fired it.  If a cop gets dispatched to a call with a teen firing a gun inside of Walmart and the cop goes into the store and sees a teen with a gun (and he cannot tell it is an air rifle) and he tells him to put it down and he ignores it and continues to swing it around common sense should tell you the outcome will be a bullet in a vital organ.

  So tragic - I think that is so terrible and hope it won't scar him for life as he is just a baby but its hard to imagine that it won't.  I feel really bad for that family all the way around and such a young mom.  And yes, it does seem like something is always happening at Wal-Mart.
