911 calls released by police reveal the harrowing moments after a toddler shot her 21-year-old mother in the head during a Zoom call with her horrified colleagues.
Shamaya Lynn died Wednesday from the fatal gunshot to the head after her toddler found a loaded handgun left unsecured in the family’s Altamonte Springs, Florida apartment and shot her, police said.
A participant of the Zoom call dialed 911, telling a dispatcher she had seen a toddler in the background and heard a noise before Lynn fell backward and never returned to the call.
"One of the girls just passed out. She’s bleeding. She has her camera on," a coworker tells the dispatcher while trying to get more information from other colleagues.
"She just fell back and her nose was bleeding … I don't know if something hit, she hit the desk, I don't know. All I heard -- we heard a loud kaboom, and she then leaned back and we just saw blood from her face," Lynn’s colleague says. "The baby's back there crying, she's not answering or anything. We're calling her name, she's not talking or responding."
In another 911 call, the woman’s boyfriend – who was not identified – can be heard pleading with the dispatcher to send help.
"I literally just got home. And I come in the room and my girlfriend, she was working on the computer, she's just laid back. There's blood everywhere!" he says. "Come on, come on, come on! Come on now, hurry, please hurry! Please! I don't know what happened, I just went in the house. I just came through the door!"
Responding paramedics attempted to render aid but she was declared dead, police said.
No charges have been filed and the investigation is ongoing.

Was the safety on? A toddler has the strength to hold a gun, undo the safety and point it at his mother’s head and the strength to pull the trigger?
I don’t think so.
I agree with the other posters. It was the boyfriend pinning it on (maybe) his child. Though the toddler probably was not his child.
“I literally just got home.”
Color me skeptical, what a coincidence!
The toddlers?
Yeah. Should of...
Boyfriend did it and blamed the kid
Yes. It’s safer that way. They get in all kinds of trouble if you let them out of the closet.
We need to ban Zoom
One in the pipe, eight in the magazine, .45 ACP on half cock. No kids in the house.
I have stock Glocks that measure less than 3 lbs on my pull scale. A toddler could easily manage that. I have adjustable triggers down to under a lb one of my F class rifle breaks at 6 ounces of pull.
Answer - not a lot if it's a Glock, or a Glock clone. Striker fired, cocked all the time with NO SAFETY.
(No, that silly little lever in the trigger is NOT a safety. A safety will prevent the gun from firing when the trigger is pulled. See the 1911, Beretta 92, all Walthers, und=und-und.
Lol
I got a Mossberg 342 in 1970.
Open sights, bolt action with a fold down forward stock.
Still accurate as hell. Great squirrel gun.
This dear child....prayers.
