US police say a three-year-old boy has shot and injured both his parents after firing a handgun from his mother's purse.

Albuquerque police say the child apparently reached for an iPod but found the loaded weapon instead.

The bullet first struck his father in the buttocks and then hit the shoulder of his mother, who is eight months pregnant.

His two-year-old sister was present but not hurt.

Police said the father was treated and released, while the mother was hospitalised in stable condition.
