Pregnant Ohio mom fatally shot by 2-year-old son who found gun on nightstand, police say

Police Chief David Smith of Norwalk told reporters Tuesday that he was one of the officers who responded shortly after 1 p.m. Friday after multiple calls to 911 from the woman. Smith identified the victim as 31-year-old Laura Ilg, CBS affiliate WOIO-TV reported.

Ilg told 911 operators she had been shot in the back, went into shock and couldn't breathe, Smith said. Police found her still conscious on her bedroom floor with a Sig Sauer Micro 9mm gun resting on the nightstand.

"She explained she was 33 weeks pregnant, and her 2-year-old just accidentally shot her in the back," Smith said.
