Mother shot dead by her three year old son at their home in Oklahoma

26 year old Crista Engles (pictured above) was accidentally shot dead by her 3 year old son at their property as she was attending to her 1 year old daughter.

According NBC News, the young boy shot and killed his mother after locating a loaded semi-automatic handgun in their property in Tulsa, Oklahoma yesterday November 25th.

The woman’s mother who also lives in the home, but wasn’t present once the horrible accident occurred, came home and found the 3 year old and 1 year old covered in blood and crying, that is based on Tulsa police. She found her daughter unresponsive beside her children and thought she’d been killed by an intruder. She immediately called the police.

But while investigating, the authorities learned that the boy had found the gun under a sofa in the family area and had accidentally fired it. Unfortunately his mum was in the line of fire. Police said once they visited the home, they found lots of guns there. The woman’s husband wasn’t home when the incident occurred.
