THIS is the horrific moment a two-year-old child accidentally shoots his mum dead after picking up his dad’s gun and playing with it.

Video footage of Friday’s tragedy showed the boy grabbing the firearm from a table before pulling the trigger as his mum turned to look at him.

While at their residence in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, the couple seemed so engrossed in their discussion that they did not observe their son holding the Glock 9mm pistol.

In a video captured by a home security camera, the victim is caught being shot in the chest and arm.

She initially seemed to have survived the shooting but after briefly standing up to examine her wounds she is quickly seen falling to the ground.

In a state of shock the youngster is captured running to his mum’s aid as his dad grabs the lethal weapon from the floor.

The 27-year-old woman has been named locally as Deborah Rodrigues Monteiro and has been pictured in Brazilian media.

The police have commenced an urgent investigation into the matter and have confirmed that the husband, a farmer who possessed a weapons license, will face manslaughter charges.

The child cannot be prosecuted for her killing because of his age but is likely to receive counselling, reports local media.

It has not yet been established whether the young boy will remain under the care of his dad or if he will be taken into social services.

Local police chief Danielle Felismino confirmed the gunshot victim had been taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The weapon she was killed with and ammunition has been seized by detectives.

The autopsy is understood to have taken place yesterday morning although the results have not yet been made public.

Devastated locals jumped to social media to offer their condolences and share their support with the family.

One commenter wrote: “My condolences to the family and friends. How sad!”

Whilst another added: “My deepest condolences to the family and friends at such a difficult moment.”

This isn’t the first time a tragic accident like this has taken place.

In June 2023, pregnant Ohio mother Laura Ilg and her unborn baby were killed after her toddler accidentally shot her in the back.

Police said afterwards that the two-year-old boy had retrieved the gun from a nightstand inside a room that’s door had accidentally been left open.

The fatal incident also comes as a six-year-old was caught drowning in a pool as his cousin watched on helplessly.

Shocking footage showed the boy desperately trying to stay afloat before a quick-thinking stranger leapt into the water to help him.

The harrowing video pictured two cousins standing on the side of a Fort Lauderdale pool in Florida.

The six-year-old boy named Oscar is seen jumping onto a blue inflatable sunbed before losing his balance and falling into the water.

Seemingly unable to swim, he is seen flailing his arms around in a failed attempt to tread water.

Standing on the side of the pool, his cousin realises he can’t do anything as he does not know how to swim either.

Desperate to help his drowning relative, the adult cousin tries dipping his feet in the water, in an attempt to get himself into the water too.

But he hesitates a few times when he realises he would also end up drowning.
