　　Boy, 4, Shoots Mom, Gun Activist

　　A Florida gun-rights supporter remained in thehospital Friday three days after she was shot by her4-year-old son.

　　Jamie Gilt, 31, was shot in the back while driving herpick up truck on Tuesday, police said.

　　A Facebook page, listed under Gilt's name, included this message one day before Tuesday'sshooting:

　　"If someone breaks into my house, or tries to harm me or my family pretty (much) anywhere,they will be shot and most likely killed. It's my right to protect my life."

　　The Facebook page also included this comment about teaching children how to shoot. "All ofours know how to shoot, too. Even my 4 year old gets jacked up to target shoot with the .22."

　　A .22-caliber gun gets its name from the type of ammunition it uses. Police said Gilt was shotby her son with a .45-caliber gun. Police said the gun was obtained legally.

　　The pro-gun rights Facebook page has been taken down. VOA could not confirm that theFacebook page, listed under "Jamie Gilt for Gun Sense," belonged to Tuesday's shooting victim.

　　Other news organizations were reporting that it is Gilt's site and that the comments on the sitewere hers.

　　The Putnam County (Florida) Sheriff's Department released a statement on the shooting. Itsaid the gun used in Tuesday's shooting was taken by the 4-year-old without his mother'sknowledge.

　　The sheriff's department said it is investigating how the mother stored the gun. Florida lawmakes it a crime to store a loaded weapon in such a way that it can be taken or used by a child,according to the sheriff's department.

　　"Detectives have not been able to interview the victim and any decision on the filing ofcriminal charges will not come until after we speak with the victim," the sheriff's departmentsaid.

　　The victim's 4-year-old son is being cared for by relatives, the sheriff's department said.
