Authorities say a Kentucky woman was fatally shot on Mother's Day in front of her 8-year-old son, who had yet to give her the necklace he had bought for her.

Louisville Metro Police Department Lt. Todd Kessinger tells news outlets that the boy was present when 27-year-old Angelina Pressley was shot multiple times in the parking lot of her apartment complex early Sunday. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police have not named a suspect in the slaying, which occurred in the city's Okolona neighborhood.

Kessinger says the boy told investigators he was excited to give his mother the necklace to celebrate Mother's Day.

Once again, a readily available gun was the first choice in solving a problem, and the 8-year-old will live with this for the rest of his life. To the right-wing gun humpers this is just another example of the price society has to pay for their right to "protect" themselves from phantom boogeymen.
