A family was devastated after a three-year-old boy killed himself while playing with his mother’s handgun.

After finding the gun at his home near Cincinnati, the boy, identified as Marques Green, shot and fatally wounded himself in the chest.

In a 911 audiotape release by police in Ohio, the boy’s mother Elizabeth Green is heard screaming and saying that her son just shot himself and that she is not getting a pulse.

She is heard noting that “The gun is mine. It is in the house, I carry it in my purse, I laid it down.

We just got home.”

A detective was seen leaving the home with a small black handgun, and placing it into an evidence bag.
