Woman, 26, driving down Milwaukee highway is shot dead by child in backseat
BY SASHA GOLDSTEIN NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Tuesday, April 26, 2016, 6:03 PM
A 26-year-old woman driving down a Milwaukee highway was shot and killed by a child in the backseat who got his or her hands on a gun, police said.
The unidentified woman was pronounced dead on scene after deputies got the call of a crash around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday on Highway 175 southbound near Vliet Street, the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
“Initial witness accounts indicate that a child in the back seat of the vehicle got ahold of a gun and discharged the firearm, sending a single bullet into the driver’s back,” the department said in a statement. “The MCSO investigation into the death is on-going.”
It’s unclear how old the child is or how he or she got ahold of the gun.
