A young mother was accidentally shot dead by
her three-year-old son as she changed her one-year-old daughter’s nappy.
According to Tulsa World, the
“horrible, horrible accident,” happened when the toddler found the loaded
semi-automatic handgun and fired a shot, hitting 26-year-old Christa Engles in
the head at her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.Her mother and husband also live at the
house in Tulsa, but neither was home at the time.Engles' husband, a truck
driver who was on the road, arrived home yesterday evening after hearing about
the shooting and was only able to confirm his wife's death by repeatedly
calling the hospital.
"The grandmother came in and
supposedly found the two children covered in blood," a neighbour told a
local television station.A Tulsa Police sergeant told NBC
News that there was a lot of guns in the house.The boy apparently
found the "large-calibre" handgun under the sofa."We are
prepared to do what we have to do to keep the kid safe - we think this is a
horrible, horrible accident," sergeant Dave Walker said.Via. mirror uk/tulsaworld
