A three-year-old boy had been playing
with a handgun he found in his mother's
purse before he shot himself, police in
Ohio have said.
Marques Green suffered a fatal wound
to the chest after discovering the
weapon at his home in Hamilton, near
Cincinnati.
His mother made a 911 call to say her
son was not getting a pulse.
In the emergency audiotape released by
police, Elizabeth Green is heard saying
she carried the gun in her purse, and
had put the purse down after returning
home.
"My son just shot himself, and I'm not
getting a pulse... Oh, my God, Oh, my
God, I'm not getting a pulse... I don't
think he's alive," she yelled during the
call.
A neighbour said she heard a woman
screaming and rushed to her balcony to
see what was happening, according to
reports.
"She was holding her son and he was
lifeless, just completely lifeless,"
Amanda Reed, who lives across the
street, told WLWT-TV.
Authorities are working to decide
whether anyone should be charged in
the case.
Ohio prosecutor Michael Gmoser said
he will take the case to a grand jury
next week to decide whether there
should be any charges.
It is the second apparently accidental
gunshot death of a young person this
month in the area.
