A Tulsa woman is dead after her toddler son accidentally shot her in the head, police say.
Christa Engles, 26, was pronounced dead at an area hospital just after 5:30 p.m. Monday after being transported from her east Tulsa home in "grave condition."
Police say Engles was found by the children's grandmother, who arrived home to find the victim in the front room of the house with a gunshot wound to the head.
Police say it appears she was changing the diaper of her 1-year-old daughter when she was shot by her 3-year-old son with a semiautomatic handgun.
According to the news report the young child discovered the gun under the couch, apparently there were several guns in the house, and he accidentally shot his mother to death.
Afterward the child kept repeating the phrase "Mommy's shot."
Just another tragedy brought to us by the American "gun culture."
Guns are not tools.
Guns are not accessories.
They are instruments of death, and they need to be treated as such.
Before they prove that to people the hard way.
