BOTH SIDES OF THE GUN

  
           

Veronica Rutledge, 29, was shot in the head and died instantly after her two-year-old son reached into her purse and got a hold of a 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun during a shopping trip in Hayden, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. The Walmart store manager stepped in after the 10:20 a.m. shooting and took the gun away from the child, officials said.
