PALATKA, Fla. -- A north Florida woman told deputies her 4-year-old son shot her in the back while he was sitting in the back seat of her pickup truck.
A Putnam County Sheriff's Office news release says a deputy saw 31-year-old Jamie Gilt of Jacksonville behaving frantically inside the truck Tuesday afternoon and quickly realized she'd been shot.

The release says the woman told deputies her son accidentally shot her. He wasn't harmed and was reunited with family members. The Department of Children and Families will investigate.

<Removed--this isn't GD.  --tbk1> news like this in the media does not fare well. We end up spending more time defending ourselves due to the actions of stupid people with guns than we should.

Calling her a stupid fucking cunt is probably a bit much but I am amazed at how irresponsible she was. I understand that everyone has moments that they make a mistake but to do it around a child is not forgivable. I do feel sad for the boy. His family will be going through some very hard times and it's not his fault.

Here's a good reminder to practice what you preach and always be safe around firearms.

I apologize for my comment. It was not appropriate and IM sent.

It is a shame and unfortunate that this happened, it just tears me up to knowing that there are 1000's of parents with that same level of irresponsibility that have no business owning a firearm.

Any thoughts?  Yes.

Simply put, Mom should never have had a weapon, unsecured, around a 4 year old.
