Two Killed in Elizabethtown Courthouse Shooting

A 2-year-old boy in Virginia accidentally shot his mother's boyfriend on Monday, critically wounding him. The man had set his handgun on a chair and was preparing to leave when the toddler discharged it. Police have not released the names of those involved. In a separate incident, a man fatally shot his girlfriend and her mother outside a courthouse in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, before shooting himself during a police standoff. The suspect, Christopher Elder, had just attended a court hearing with the victims and remains in critical condition. Local schools were placed on a soft lockdown, and the incident is described as a domestic tragedy linked to an emergency protective order hearing.
