A 3-year-old boy accidentally shot dead his mother in Oklahoma while she was changing her younger daughter’s nappy, the Independent reported.

It is believed that the kid found the gun lying on a table near the sofa from where he picked it up and accidentally shot his mom in the head.

Christina Engles, 26, was found dead when the children’s grandmother entered the house.

The husband, who is a truck driver, learnt about the tragedy a few hours later when he returned home.

Police department say they have found multiple guns in the property.

In a separate incident, a three-year-old was found in a serious condition after he was shot by his four-year-old neighbour in the mouth in Washington.

The two children were playing with the gun when the three-year-old was accidentally shot in the mouth.

Police officials are not sure where the kids got the gun from, whether it was owned, or left unsecured.
