Florida 911 calls released after woman killed by toddler while on Zoom call: 'There's blood everywhere'

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.

Shamaya won’t have to worry about securing her weapon any more.

Giving unlimited power to governments is like giving whiskey and loaded guns to toddlers.

Gangsta gangsta at the top of the dial.

Leave your loaded gun around.

How much pressure is required to pull the trigger and can a toddler manage that?

How long between the Zoom callers’ 9-1-1 calls and the boyfriend’s call?

It depends on the gun.

Let’s say 7 pounds, which is typical for a striker fired gun.

Could be less or more though.

“....Shamaya....”

Is that a clue?

Darwin’s fault.

Sad...

When I was 8 I had sense enough to keep guns high enough toddlers could not reach them...it should be automatic with a grown mother.

I’ve seen people kid proof a house when grandkids were coming...I’ve done it too...nothing that resembles a gun or knife is less than 6 feet off the floor, with the exception of the kitchen cutlery, safely in a drawer...

Just common sense...

If this was the Lifetime channel - the boyfriend would have done it.

Unless the toddler can be seen in the video, I believe it was the boyfriend who shot her and blamed the kid.

I used to really piss my wife off when she watched a Lifetime show. I would come in the room and announce that the guy did it. Big time spoiler. Oh well, it was true.
