A Florida woman has died after being shot by her toddler while she was on a Zoom conference call, according to police.
Shamaya Lynn, 21, was on a work-related call Wednesday when she was shot, Altamonte Springs Police said in a statement Thursday night on Facebook.
Police say a member of a Zoom conference call dialed 911 when Lynn fell backward.
Investigators say witnesses on the Zoom call saw a child appear in the background and participants on the call heard a noise, the statement said.
Officers and paramedics responded, and the statement said they “did their best in rendering aid,” but Lynn had a fatal gunshot wound to the head.
An adult had left a loaded handgun in the apartment unsecured, and the toddler found it, the statement said.
Detectives are working with the Seminole County State Attorney’s Office to determine if any charges are appropriate for the owner of the gun.
The prosecutor’s office cannot comment on an ongoing investigation or possible charges, spokesman Todd Brown said.
