INDIANAPOLIS — Kandice Cole dropped off her two kids at a family friend’s house to babysit while she and her husband went to work.
Shortly after, she said her 4-year-old son, Eric, found the babysitter’s gun and accidentally shot himself. His 7-year-old sister found him.
“I am all for people protecting themselves their homes and families. I get it. However, you have an obligation to be responsible and be intelligent and to make sure that you have them secured so the kids don’t hurt themselves,” Cole said.
Cole only wishes now that she had inquired about guns in the home and whether they were properly secured and out of reach from her children.
