A Florida toddler grabbed his father’s gun and accidentally shot himself fatally in the face while in a Burger King drive-thru Thursday — as his distracted dad tried to pay for dinner, police said. The dad, who was carrying a pistol in his waistband, put it down in the car after his credit card was declined at the Burger King drive-thru window in Bartow, Fla. , causing him to get distracted — and allowing his 3-year-old who was playing in the backseat to pick up the gun and mistakenly pull the trigger, according to FOX 13 Tampa Bay.
