Toddler shoots and kills woman during her Zoom work call

A 21-year-old Florida woman was accidentally killed after a toddler allegedly shot her in the head during a video call, police said on Thursday.

A member attending the same work-related zoom conference call alerted police when they saw the woman – identified as Shamaya Lynn – fall backward with a loud noise and saw a toddler in the background, Altamonte Springs police said in a statement.

Lynn died from a gunshot wound to her head.

“Investigators determined that the injury was caused by a toddler who found a loaded handgun, which was left unsecured by an adult in the apartment,” police said.

The woman’s relationship with the child was not revealed by the police. NBC-affiliated Wesh reported that she was the toddler’s mother.

According to initial information, the gun belonged to the father of the woman’s two young children. None of the children were harmed in the incident.
