Kanawha County woman accidentally shot by young boy

CEDAR GROVE, W.Va. — A woman was accidentally shot in the leg Friday afternoon by a two-year-old boy in Cedar Grove.

It happened in the 200 block of William Street when a man opened the family gun cabinet. The child got ahold of a pistol and fired the gun, hitting 53-year-old Pamela Gibson in the leg.

The bullet entered her leg and exited through her hip. She was immediately transported to CAMC and underwent surgery. She was still receiving treatment Friday evening.

Kanawha County Sheriff’s Deputies are still investigating the incident. The boy’s name will not be released due to privacy issues.
