A two-year-old child who accidently shot himself in a Walmart parking lot has left his family inconsolable.
In a GoFundMe page created for the family, Nakyzi Odums’ grandmother spoke of him as a little child who “laughed wholeheartedly, smiled brightly, and loved unconditionally.”
According to WALB, the child accidently shot himself on Wednesday outside of a Walmart in Douglas, Georgia, and died as a result. According to witnesses, his parents were only a few feet away from a fireworks stand when they heard a pop.
The shocked parents realized their kid had shot himself in the chest as they hurried back to their car. After being taken to the hospital immediately, the boy tragically died in a Jacksonville, Florida trauma facility.
“The Douglas Police Department regrets to inform the community that the young child who suffered an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound on July 3, 2024, has sadly passed away this afternoon, July 6th, 2024, at a trauma center in Jacksonville, Florida,” the police update said at the time of the death.
“Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.”
