A Kansas woman who was drinking with friends while a 4-year-old got hold of her gun and shot another little boy has been sentenced to prison.

Tasha Dillard, 25, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and six counts of aggravated child endangerment in September, months after she was arrested in connection with the shooting death of 7-year-old Davion Gunter. According to court documents obtained by local ABC affiliate KAKE, Dillard was one of several adults gathered at an apartment complex in Planeview on March 15 while seven children were present. While Dillard was in her car doing tequila shots with the adults, the children were left to go inside her apartment to play.

Just 10 minutes later, one of the children came running out.
