Abigail Rodriguez told police she and her daughter were in the girl’s bedroom when Grace wandered into her mother's room and shot herself with a 9 mm handgun, a Portage police officer wrote in an affidavit.

The woman said she rushed into her bedroom and saw Grace on the floor, wounded, the affidavit said.

She said she keeps the weapon in the kitchen during the day and on a nightstand next to her bed at night, the affidavit said. But on the day in question, she said she forgot to bring the gun into the kitchen.
