A Norman mother is facing second-degree murder charges after her toddler was shot and killed.
Norman Mother Arrest
25-year-old Sarah Grigsby was arrested last week. Investigators say one of her children got hold of her gun, and the gun went off. Court records show Grigsby has since bonded out of jail.
What Happened in Norman?
Grigsby told police she was putting away her pistol when the child grabbed it. Investigators, however, believe the gun had been left unattended for longer than she claimed.
Last month, police responded to a Norman home where a one-year-old had been shot. The child was rushed to the hospital but did not survive.
Investigators say Grigsby admitted she left her pistol on a bedroom vanity. While her back was turned, her older child picked up the gun, climbed into the playpen, and it discharged. Grigsby told officers she usually keeps her gun locked in a safe or clipped to her—but police believe it was left unsecured longer than reported.
