Five-year-old Shoots Self with Gun Left on Bed; His Mother is Charged with Murder

A five-year-old boy in Norcross, Georgia shot and killed himself with a loaded gun that his mother left on a hotel room bed. The boy was alone in the room with two other children at the time the incident occurred. His mother, Bianca Williams, age 26, has been charged with second degree murder.
