in the backpack on Aug. 11 and fired a single shot that hit his mother, Shamaya Lynn, in the head.
A woman who also was on the Zoom call dialed 911, reporting that she heard a noise and saw Lynn fall. The co-worker didn’t know how old Lynn was or where she lived, but meanwhile Avery also called 911, begging responders to hurry as he tried to help Lynn.“I literally just got home and I come in the room... my girlfriend who was working on the computer, she’s just laid back and there’s blood everywhere,” Avery said on the 911 call.
He told the dispatcher that Lynn wasn’t breathing, and he could not feel her heartbeat. She was pronounced dead at the scene.The Seminole County State Attorney’s Office said Avery is being held without bond. Records did not list an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
davidfrum Americas rate of toddlers COMMITING HOMOCIDE is steady.
So sad… mental health programs as well as gun safety measures should be pass by Congress instead of them always playing the blame game politics. All talk no actions.
davidfrum This is like the most American thing ever isn't it?
More reasons for gun safety laws with teeth
The US has a gun problem.
davidfrum When you have assault weapons they will be used. This is insane.
JonathanLanday But the NRA says the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun
A perplexing tragedy. Any security cameras or location verification that could help place where the father was when the toddler allegedly shot the Mom? This seems like either a tragic and preventable mishap or a toddler being framed for the death of his own Mom. FloridaPolice
In Florida? The man must be Black?
Good, though I think his charges aren’t high enough. This toddlers father put a loaded gun in his sons backpack. Who does that? I’m praying the toddler is able to forget what he did and saw in the aftermath. And while the husband is grieving, he is negligent and culpable.
...Police in central Florida have arrested the father of a toddler who found a loaded handgun in his “Paw Patrol”... Why was the gun In his Paw Patrol back pack?
As he should be.
If no one wants to discuss tighter controls, we must have zero tolerance for the violations of the laws we have. That means this child will likely be raised by someone other than his father, at least for the next 5-8 years.
CoreBears Because.... Florida. Sickening.
Good. He can be sorry from prison.
I'm not anti-gun, I'm anti-idiot.
He needs to be convicted, and hopefully jailed, so they can take away his 2nd Amendment right to have a gun.
greg_doucette holy shit!
When they start locking these gun fondlers up for 20 years for reckless management of their weapons, that's when I know America might be on the road back to sanity
'Mom should have been carrying a gun.' Sincerely, Texas
“Too soon” to talk about gun control.
America rules! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
davidfrum Adult gun owners, NOT children, are responsible for preventing unintentional shootings. See for info on HT safely store firearms & strategies on HT ask (in a nonjudgemental way) if guns are properly secured prior your child’s visit to a friend’s home.
This, writ large, is the problem of guns in America. Unsecured firearms in the hands of people too immature to know how to take care of them properly leading, inevitably, to the senseless deaths of innocent people.
davidfrum If only there had been a good toddler with a gun.
Republicans policies at work...set you up with thier gun laws and just like a unborn baby..once you out you on your on.
NRA if only there was a good guy with a gun right?
My first thought is the dad did it and blamed the baby. This makes more sense than a baby shooting his mom in the head.
He has a criminal background and is a registered democrat. Oh man I love when people immediately assume he's a gun toting right winger and it blows up in their face. Either way, really fucking sad story and I hope the child gets the care he needs and deserves. Both children.
Excellent
You must have seen this, but just in case shannonrwatts

davidfrum All the more tragic when you realize it’s totally preventable. End gun ownership now
The mother's dead, the father's going to prison, and the kid will be an orphan. And to think this guy bought a gun to keep his family safe.
Dear God! This whole story is awful 😢
Holy crap! How mean was the toddler's mother?
Florida, man
It's always Florida.
Murders per 100,000 population: FL 5.2 TX 4.9 CA 4.3 NY 2.9 So Florida, how's that 'good guy with a gun' thingie working out for ya?
