Woman's Gun Goes Off In Purse - 9th Grade Boy Wounded

[matcom]

<snip>

Tishawunna Funchess said she regrets what she calls a freak accident that wounded a 14-year-old boy after a gun accidentally discharged in her purse outside his school in Jackson earlier this week.

If anything, Funchess, a 28-year-old mother of three from Jackson, said she wanted Christopher Hudson's mother, Montrica Meeks, to know how sorry she is about the accidental shooting. Funchess called Meeks after the Tuesday shooting to explain what happened.

"I feel really bad," she told The Clarion-Ledger in a telephone interview. "It was a big freak accident."
Funchess said she has personal reasons for no longer wanting to carry a weapon.

"My mother died from an accidental shooting," she said, not elaborating. "That's why it will take me awhile to get over it. I didn't try to run. You have to take responsibility for what you do."

Hudson, a ninth-grader, was shot above the left knee around 3 p.m. as students were heading to another building across the street from Emmanuel Christian Academy, 1023 Langley Ave., said pastor J.W. Moore, the school's leader. Hudson was taken to a hospital and released the same day.

Funchess said she stopped at Emmanuel Apostolic Tabernacle, where she is a member, to use a phone book and locate a bank. "I was outside talking to kids like I always do, and I dropped my purse," she said.
