ATLANTA -- Police said a 10-year-old boy found a gun in a dressing room at an Atlanta mall, and it fired when the mother pulled the trigger to see whether it was real. The mother and son were in a dressing room at the Adidas store in Lenox Square last week when the boy found what he thought was a toy gun under a bench. Atlanta police spokeswoman Stephanie Brown said the mother took the gun and pulled the trigger "to see if it was real." A single shot fired. Brown said there were no injuries.
