we're told now that the mother is expected to face charges as a result of this well it wasn't planned this way but a day after that toddler shot himself with an unsecured gun Detroit police host a free gunlock event in Rouge Park the organizers with dpd say saving just one child makes it all worthwhile Fox 2 Jessica dupnack has more got to protect babies got to protect the kids and me it feels like so often we're talking about Detroit's babies here on Fox 2 getting a hold of unsecured firearms and shooting themselves or other children I can't even explain the trauma if something happened to one of my babies I couldn't I couldn't do it we caught up with Whitney dinard at a free gun lock event in Detroit Saturday the day before this event a three-year-old finds mom's gun suffering a graze wound on the city's east side with this latest story on her mind Whitney getting outfitted with a lock because of her godchildren they always over I have to make sure they're safe right because they're tallers up to eight or n years old and it only takes a little bit of pressure to pull the trigger we have been saying for years you can get free gun locks at any of the Detroit police precincts but not everyone listens clearly one is too many so I mean you see it on the news it just it just happens it happens it happens and it happens it's enough is enough Detroit police Sergeant William Tatum in firearms training wanted to make the free gunlock event a whole thing bounce houses free haircuts and food at Rouge Park Saturday afternoon all I need is just one kid to pick up a weapon and say oh I can't do nothing with it because it's locked it's secured I did my job Jerry Washington had a gun lock but didn't know exactly how it all worked and Saturday she learned it'll be easier now now that I know what I'm supposed to do cuz I was blocking it but I was locking it wrong the main message here from the sergeant himself please lock him up make him safe and keep safe
