A Rock Hill grandmother is recovering after police say a 2-year-old boy found a gun inside a car and shot her in the back.
According to police, officers were called to the 1100-block of Stanley Drive Sunday afternoon around 1:24 p.m.
Officers met with a woman who says she picked up her great-nephew and was driving him around, with his grandmother in the passenger seat.
While she was driving, the young boy found a .357 revolver in the pouch on the back of the passenger seat. He then accidentally shot his 40-year-old grandmother through the passenger seat.
"She’s probably lucky that it hit the car seat first because it slowed down the momentum of the bullet," said Rock Hill Police Captain Mark Bollinger.
The family was traveling through the light at Ogden Road and Heckle Boulevard when the woman heard the gun go off.
She looked in the back seat and the boy had the gun in both hands and began to cry. That's when the grandmother said she'd been hit by the bullet in the back.
"It was in a pouch behind the passenger seat, somehow the child reached in and got ahold of it, that’s something our detectives are working on today," Bollinger said.
The woman reportedly drove to a family member's home along Stanley Drive and called police.
The grandmother was transported to Carolinas Medical Center-Main in Charlotte.
There was earlier confusion from police on the age of the boy and the relationship to the woman who was shot.
Investigators will turn over case findings to the solicitor’s office for possible weapons or other charges.
"There could be some child neglect, or some unlawful conduct towards a child charges based on the age of the child and leaving the gun within reaching distance of a young minor," Bollinger said.
While the injuries aren’t believed to be life threatening, Bollinger says the incident is a reminder for parents to keep their guns locked and stowed away from children.
"We encourage people to get gun locks, we give them away free here at the Rock Hill Police Department," Bollinger said.
Family members and neighbors did not want to talk about what happened.
Following the flooding, many pet owners are noticing their dogs aren't feeling very good. Veterinarians across the Lowcountry are reporting that dogs are catching a contagious cough.
"It's contagious enough that I'm willing to say that walking your dog around the neighborhood can expose your dog," said Dr. Brooke Hardymon, Bees Ferry Veterinarian Hospital.
Dr. Hardymon says the most common symptom of this upper respiratory infection is a hacking, harsh cough.
Dr. Hardymon says it can take anywhere between two to 14 days for symptoms to show up after a dog has been exposed.
The severity of the infection depend on how healthy the dog is and which organisms they were exposed to, according to Dr. Hardymon.
To treat the cough, many vets are prescribing a cough suppressant and antibiotic to kill the bacteria.
Dr. Hardymon says if the cough is left untreated, it can be dangerous.
"In dogs, especially older or young dogs, or dogs who are are exposed to the more nasty critters that caused this virus, they can develop life threatening pneumonia," said Dr. Hardymon.
This nasty cough isn't the only thing wreaking havoc on mans best friend, after the flood.
"We've also been seeing a lot of GI problems, so stomachs upset, some of these nasty little critters that live in stagnant water that these dogs, and even cats, are exposed to," said Dr. Hardymon.
The symptoms for this are diarrhea, loss of appetite and sometimes even vomiting.
"I think there's a lot of things we need to be made aware of with the flood waters and how they relate to our pets," said Dr. Hardymon.
Dr. Hardymon says dog owners need to continue to keep their pets of the flood water, because it's still contaminated.
Now that the water has gone down in some areas, doesn't been the germs are gone too.
"I think as far as toys or other items that have been heavily exposed to these flood water, for me, I would just get rid of them," said Dr. Hardymon.
If you suspect your dog is suffering from this cough or a stomach bug - it's best to take your pet to the vet.

One person in Craig County is holding a two million dollar lottery ticket.
The winner has not come forward yet but in a town like New Castle with less than 200 people, you can bet the word traveled fast.
"It's the biggest thing that's happened around here for the longest time and I've been with the store for 17 years and this is the biggest lottery winner we've ever had," said IGA Administrative Assistant Lynne Price.
"It hit Facebook, it's all over Facebook, everybody's posting it," said Paul Medley.
"Here we are in a very poor county and somebody won," laugh Jennifer Durling.
The winning ticket was sold at the IGA on Market Street in New Castle. It matched the first five numbers, only missing the Powerball. That would usually only win you a $1 Million. But the person paid an extra dollar for the Power Play and that doubled the prize to $2 Million.
"That's something you hear about, it's not something you see happen, especially somebody you know," said Durling.
While the winner has not been announced, a lot of people say they know who it is.
"He said "I won the lotto!" but we thought he was joking because he always jokes and kids around and he showed us the ticket and he said I'm gonna home and hide it now until tomorrow," said Linda Welch.
"It's good for him, he needs it," said Linda Welch, "He helps the community, he fixed on people's cars."
Now, others are trying their luck, hoping it will strike twice.
"I always split it with whoever sold it to me so we're hoping that she wins so I can split it with her," said Durling.
The store that sold the ticket will get a 10 thousand dollar bonus from the Virginia Lottery.
The winner has 180 days from Saturday's drawing date to claim their prize.
