Toddler Holding Gun Discovered By Police During Traffic Stop

Armed 3-Year-Old Found Inside Car During Traffic Stop

Police made an unusual discovery after pulling over a car during a recent traffic stop in Chicago: An armed 3-year-old.

Police pulled over the car in the city's East Garfield Park neighborhood because they saw children inside that were neither strapped into a car seat nor wearing a seat belt, CBS Chicago reports. Inside the car, they discovered that one of those children -- a 3-year-old girl -- was holding a 9mm handgun later found to contain eight live rounds.

According to the Tribune, King was yelling "Fatty, Fatty, Fatty” -- apparently the toddler's nickname -- during the traffic stop.
