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.

If you have guns they should be in your person or unloaded, especially if there are young kids around. This is gun safety 101. Kids this young can't be reasoned with on a level that they will leave dangerous things alone consistently so you need to do it for them.

Or secured.

I'm a big fan of biometric quick-access handgun safes for this sort of thing. Unfortunately they aren't cheap, but you can generally get one for ~150 dollars.

I'm a confirmed bachelor, to use the victorian expression, so kids aren't an issue for me. I still keep my "nightstand gun" in one bolted to my bed frame. In the event of a smash-and-grab on my place, it would at least slow them down a bit if they tried to get my gun.

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.

Maybe there's something to that whole "holding the gun sideways" thing

Maybe there's something to that whole "holding the gun sideways" thing

Maybe? The credibility of this story entirely depends on the type of gun. Maybe it was one of those tiny feminine ones that don't have a safety. In which case, the mom paid for her own mistake.
If it was another type of gun that belonged to someone else in the house, then I have my doubts about how all this went down.

Serves her right for being a coal burner.

There's no way "Shamaya" was white, as proved by the photo.

Seriously even if you are the most paranoid motherfucker in the most dangerous neighborhood in the country, do not leave your gun loaded. That is retarded.

A loaded gun by itself is fine and is as harmless as any other inert object. A loaded gun in arm's reach of an unsupervised toddler is a terrible idea and occasionally self-selecting for deletion.

I would laugh, but these dumb niggers are gonna get nationwide gun safe regulations ala California passed.

Not really. Loaded gun should be treated as automatically dangerous because accidental firings can and do happen from drops and bumps. There are other safety features to prevent that of course but you can mess them up or there can be mechanical failure. A loaded gun is always more dangerous than a none loaded gun and should be taken seriously. Sure it's not anything worth of panicking over, just something you need to stay aware so that you don't go too careless.

 

[SITHRAK!]

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.

And the media will blame the gun.

Modern firearms (certain Sigs excluded) are generally drop safe and only fire when the trigger is pulled. Is a loaded gun more likely to go off than one that is unloaded? Sure. Is an unloaded gun more likely to be a lump of worthless metal and plastic when you need it to be a gun on short notice? Absolutely.

Funny how the same crowd who's all about fuck the police and ACAB quake in their boots at the thought of getting caught by the feds.

Don't underestimate the people that accuse you of bootlicking.
