Toddler accidentally killed his mother with a shot to the head on Zoom


A toddler accidentally killed his mother with a shot to the head after finding a loaded handgun in their apartment and firing it at her while she was on a work related video call, according to police in Florida.

A colleague who was speaking to 21-year-old Shamaya Lynn heard a loud bang and then saw the mother fall backwards and fail to return back on the screen.

The co-worker dialled 911 and told dispatchers she believed Lynn had been shot.

Detectives said Lynn's toddler discovered an unlocked pistol which belonged to his father and shot his mother in the head at their home in Altamonte Springs on the outskirts of Orlando.

'Officers and paramedics did their best in rendering aid to Mrs Lynn, but she was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the head,' police said.

Another toddler was also inside the home, neither of the children were injured.

An investigation remains ongoing as to whether the owner of the firearm will face criminal charges.

'If you own a firearm, please keep it locked and secured,' patrol officer Roberto Ruiz Jr said. 'Incidents like this could be avoided.'

You can just imagine it's a terrible tragedy for any family to face, one that has devastated her entire family and our community,' Ruiz told WKMG.

There were some 369 unintentional shootings by children in the States last year, including 142 fatalities, according to gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.

In February, a 25-year-old mother was shot dead in North Carolina after one of her five kids found a pistol inside her purse.

And in April, a toddler in Houston discovered an unlocked gun and killed his eight-month-old baby brother.

Reeeeee, niggers.

There's no fucking winners in this story. The mom is dead, the toddler will grow up with the guilt that he was responsible for his mother's death, the father will live with the guilt that it was his unattended firearm, and society will bear the burden when this family invariably fractures due to trauma. The officers and EMTs/Paramedics will have the lovely memory of having to work on a woman who had been shot by her own toddler.

I don't like this story.

How fucking hard is it to keep your guns locked up and away from your kids? It's almost deserved if you're going to be so careless.

I feel worse for the kid to be honest. Imagine snooping through mommys' belongings and you find this weird tool. You wanna show it to her but you end up pressing down on a weird piece that's sticking out. Next thing you know, mommy's on the ground and there's blood everywhere. The paramedics come and take her away, only for them to tell you an hour later that she's not coming back.
 
How big was the handgun? A toddler managed to level it upward at head height and had the strength to pull the trigger? The safety was already off? Who's gun was it?
Not saying shit doesn't happen but that kid has incredible fucking aim.

One of those small handguns sometimes recommended for women?

Reeeeee, niggers.

Yeah it's Kiwi Farms. Gotta expect certain comments. Half are probably not even that serious. But there's so much contraryism on everything. It's not just here. I just internally laugh at the people who can't seriously separate tragedy from malicious intent in some of these articles. Oh and the guys who probably keep checking the mail for their government appointed girlfriends.

Hopefully the kid won't remember this. I hope he has a good support system. Please keep your guns properly locked up.
 
I'm just thankful that it wasn't one of the kids who got shot. That would have been much more tragic. If you leave guns loaded and unattended around kids you are a shitty parent. At least she paid the price for that stupidity instead of her kids (though that kid who did the shooting isn't out of the woods yet -- people better make sure he knows it wasn't his fault). Hopefully dad will get his act together and start being a better parent.

Know a lifelong paramedic... 25 years on the street. They’re numb to that kind of shit, they have more than likely seen something more fucked. For example; somebody getting hit by a car on a freeway. That literally sends chunks of meat flying everywhere... and on a highway you’re likely to get hit more than once. Officers are the ones scraping you off the concrete, and medics have to try and collect information off your scattered remains. Pretty rough job. On top of that they’re in fucking Florida lmao.

It’s their job... first responders are used to it. Situation is still fucked though... I agree that the family will probably face trauma for years. But I mean, know your fucking gun safety, kids. Don’t leave a loaded gun out in the open when you have a toddler wandering about.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
