19. Not that it matters, but there is a minor discrepancy in the news story.

I know very little about firearms. However, from what I understand, a "Glock 45" fires 9mm bullets (approximately 0.35 caliber). The article reports the seized weapon was loaded with eight, then ten, rounds of 0.45 ammunition. To my understanding, it is not possible to fire 0.45 caliber rounds with a Glock 45.

It is a horrible tragedy. The bullet struck the right arm of the woman, then it entered her chest cavity. It is very fortunate that the child, which the woman was holding in her left, arm was not struck.
