A Phoenix mother who says her toddler fatally shot her 9-year-old son with a handgun she left on a bed faces sentencing for her role in the killing.
PHOENIX — A Phoenix woman who says her 2-year-old son fatally shot her 9-year-old son with a handgun that she left on a bed faces sentencing Thursday for her role in the killing that still puzzles investigators 2½ years later.
Prosecutors still can’t determine who fired the gun, said Amanda Steele, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa County attorney’s office.Wendy Lavarnia had told police that she put her loaded gun on a bed at her house within reach of her children and then turned away to get something. She denied firing the gun.
Lavarnia told the newspaper that the shot fired by his 2-year-old son struck him in the upper part of his left arm, causing the bullet to fragment and leading police to believe the wound was made by a screwdriver. He said one of the fragments then exited his arm and struck Landen in the head.
