A tragic and horrible accident has claimed the life of young mother who was accidentally shot dead by her 3-year-old son while changing her 1-year-old daughter's nappy. The toddler, according to the police, accidentally pulled the trigger on the fully loaded semi-automatic belonging to his father and killed his mother on the spot.
According to Mirror UK, the toddler found the loaded handgun and fired a shot, hitting his 26-year-old mother, Christa Engles in the head at her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Engles' husband, a truck driver who was on the road, arrived home after hearing about the shooting and was only able to confirm his wife's death by repeatedly calling the hospital. Police say the woman's mother came in and supposedly found the two children covered in blood, adding that there was a lot of guns in the house. Police say the boy apparently found the large- calibre handgun under the sofa.
Tulsa detective sergeant Dave Walker said: "We are prepared to do what we have to do to keep the kid safe - we think this is a horrible, horrible accident."
