According to foreign media, including the Daily Express, a two-year-old boy who lived in a small town in Rio Verde de Matugrosul, Brazil, accidentally fired a handgun on the night of the 14th (local time), killing his mother Deborah (27).
According to CCTV footage of the house at the time of the incident, the child picked up 'Glock 9mm Pistol' on the veranda table, touched it like a joke, and suddenly pulled the trigger.
The bullet penetrated Deborah's chest and arm, initially surprised by the impact of the shot, and seemed to confirm his wounds, but immediately collapsed.
He was later taken to the hospital, but he died.
At the time, the owner of the pistol fired by the child was confirmed to be the victim's husband and the child's father.
The gun is legally owned by the child's father, but he is currently being investigated for careless and manslaughter in the storage of the gun.
Meanwhile, gun ownership is legally permitted in Brazil, but strict regulations must be followed.
After going through a background check, the purpose of use will be clarified and the firearm will be registered.
In Brazil, gun ownership is increasing rapidly as regulations are eased, and shootings are reported to be on the rise.
