Washington: A granddaughter sitting in the back seat shot her 57-year-old grandmother who was driving a car in the US state of Florida.
According to Fox News, the incident happened when the granddaughter and grandmother were returning home from work. A pistol was kept in a bag on the back of the driving seat, which the granddaughter took out and started playing with.
Meanwhile, a bullet was fired which directly hit the grandmother in the lower back, but she kept her composure and managed to reach home while driving.
On reaching home, the grandmother called the rescue agency, on which rescue workers reached her house and transferred her to a major hospital by helicopter, where the bullet was removed through an operation.
Grandma’s condition is now out of danger, but she will remain in the hospital for two or three days under the supervision of doctors.
The granddaughter was transferred by police to Child Protection where experts interviewed the girl, which confirmed that the girl had been shot accidentally.
The police directed the grandmother to fully implement the security measures of carrying a pistol.
