Toddlers shootings averaging one victim per week in the US

So far in 2015, a whopping 43 toddlers have picked up a firearm and inadvertently shot either themselves or another person. That’s about one shooting per week, according to the Washington Post. Those cases include a New Mexico tot who wounded his pregnant mother and his father, a Florida boy who shot his 1-year-old sister in the face and a Texas 3-year-old who killed himself with his grandfather’s gun. Meanwhile, 26 people have been killed by lightning strikes in the U.S. this year, the National Weather Service reported.
