Video After The Jump
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A 2-year old boy fatally shot his father in an accident after finding a gun & the boy’s mother is now facing criminal charges.
Reggie Mabry, 26, was fatally shot late last month while he was playing a video game. The gun was fired by his 2-year-old son in the home Mabry, his wife Marie Ayala & their 3 young children shared in metro Orlando.
“The gun was not properly stored,” Orange County Sheriff John Mina said. “In fact, it was easily accessible, even to a 2-year-old & the result is a tragedy that no one in this community can really comprehend.”
Ayala, 28, was charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon & violation of probation.
Both Ayala & Mabry had been on probation for child neglect & narcotics possession.
Ayala remained in jail on no bond Monday.
Ayala told detectives that her 5-year-old son told her that his 2-year-old brother had fired the gun, but the older brother couldn’t explain how his younger brother had gotten hold of the weapon.
The children weren’t harmed & have been placed in the custody of the Florida Department of Children and Families.
The tragedy could have been prevented if the gun had been properly stored.
“Now these young children have effectively lost both of their parents,” Mina said. “And a young child has to live his life knowing he shot his father.”
