3 year old Boy Shoots his His Father and Pregnant Mother Accidentally

The toddler was sitting in a motel room in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his mother, Monique Villescas, father, Justin Reynolds, and two-year-old sister when the shooting occurred. He reached into Miss Villescas's purse in a bid to reach her iPod, but pulled out a gun instead, police said. He then reportedly fired one shot, striking his father in the right buttock (pictured top).

The bullet then traveled out of Mr Reynolds's hip and struck his long-term girlfriend - who is eight months' pregnant, police said. The pair were rushed to hospital with gunshot wounds.

The boy's parents were preparing  said to be ordering pizza in the room at America's Best Value Inn, near Menaul and University, where the family has been living before the incident.
