A 13-year-old accidentally shot and killed himself on Instagram Live after the gun he was posing with suddenly went off.
According to Daily Mail, Malachi Hemphill of Forest Park, Georgia, had taken the trash out on Monday night and returned to his room when his mother heard a loud ‘boom’.
Shaniqua Stephens and her daughter kicked in the teen’s door and found him laying in a pool of blood, WXIA reported.
Stephens said she knew something was wrong when she heard the noise, and immediately rushed upstairs with her daughter.
‘We kicked in the door. We found him just laying there in a pool of blood,’ Stephens said.
Her daughter noticed Malachi’s phone was still on, and Stephens found it was still streaming through Instagram Live.
The teen was rushed to Grady Hospital in Atlanta, where he died.
Stephens told WXIA: ‘This is just a pain that will never go away. He was my only son. He was just only 13. Just the thought of me seeing him on the floor will never leave my brain,’ she said.
