Mother’s Cover-Up After Child Shot | Pittsburgh News
Description
A four-year-old boy is shot in Allegheny County, and his mom, Ruth Hicks, initially blamed the family dog—until doctors discovered a gunshot wound. She claimed she left her kids alone, admitted her gun was in her purse, and later allegedly called her teen daughter to dispose of the remaining ammo by tossing it into the river from the Rankin Bridge. Now facing multiple felony charges including endangering children and tampering with evidence, the case spirals into a shocking cover-up with serious legal consequences looming.
