A three-year-old boy shot his mother while she was changing her daughter's diapers in her home in Oklahoma on Monday (Nov 24).
Three-year-old toddler repeatedly said "Mummy shot" before police took him away for an interview.
A gunshot wound to the head was discovered on Ms Christa Engles' head.
According to Tulsa World, the toddler spotted a gun on a table close to the sofa and accidentally pulled the trigger.
The 26-year-old mother was found when the children's grandmother arrived at the house.
Several guns found
A police spokesman said that several guns were found in the house.
"We are prepared to do what we have to do to keep the kids safe, but I think this is a horrible, horrible accident," he told NBC News.
The children's father learnt of the fatal accident when he returned home hours later.
