A pregnant mother and her unborn child were fatally shot inside their Ohio home after her 2-year-old son mistakenly got a hold of his father’s handgun
......
Laura Ilg, 31, was 33 weeks pregnant when she called police Friday afternoon to report that her son got a hold of a gun and shot her in the back
......
Responding officers kicked down the front door to find Ilg still conscious with her toddler in the main upstairs bedroom, next to a handgun.
......
Ilg told officers that her toddler got into the primary bedroom while she was doing laundry and began playing with the gun
......
Smith said the gun belonged to the toddler’s father, who was at work at the time of the incident.
......
Police said Ilg was immediately taken to a hospital, where doctors performed an emergency C-section. Her unborn son did not survive, and the mother died from her gunshot wounds hours later.
At the scene, officers seized a Sig Sauer P365 Nitro Micro-Compact semi-automatic pistol, along with a spent shell casing
......
the Ilgs told police they kept the handgun inside a nightstand in the primary bedroom. The home featured “numerous” child safety features, including a baby gate at every doorway
......
police are investigating the gun’s functionality and how the 2-year-old boy could pull the trigger.
Sig Sauer, the manufacturer who designed the handgun, is facing numerous lawsuits from law enforcement and individuals claiming their handguns were faulty, resulting in misfirings that cause injuries or death
