A 2-year-old girl is dead after being shot in an apparent tragic accident late Friday at a Cleveland-area hotel.

Police in Wickliffe, Ohio, said Saturday that it appears as though the mother of the child was handling the gun when she dropped it and it went off, hitting the girl. Police said the girl was struck in the chest and rushed to the hospital where she died.

Police said the gun was legally registered and she owned a concealed carrypermit.

She was a responsible gun owner a minute before that.

Tragic that she was led to believe a gun was the best way to protect herself and her family.

The mom killed doing what she loved.
