Accidental shootings by children are not unheard of in the United States. In late September, a two-year-old boy accidentally killed himself in Texas after finding a loaded gun in a relative's backpack.
The father of a two-year-old child who fatally shot his mother in the head while she was on a Zoom meeting, has been arrested in Florida for failing to keep the gun out of the toddler's reach.
Veondre Avery, 22, who was charged with manslaughter and failure to securely store a firearm, was taken into custody on Tuesday, police and a prosecutor said.
Avery had stored the gun -- loaded and without the safety on -- in a backpack themed with the children's television series "Paw Patrol."
The boy's 21-year-old mother, Shamaya Lynn, was shot in their home on August 11 with a single bullet, while in the middle of a Zoom meeting.
