The mother of the 3-year-old boy who accidentally shot and killed himself on Feb. 29 could face between one and six years in prison for her son's death.

Kelly Pittman, 26, was arrested and charged with criminally negligent homicide on Monday, one week after her son, Gavin Pittman, shot himself in the face with a .380-caliber pistol.

Investigators say Pittman was talking on her cellphone when she pulled her minivan into the family's driveway at 4724 Gates Lane in Apison at 9:18 a.m. on Feb. 29. She left three small children in the van and got out so she could continue her conversation, she told investigators with the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.

She said she heard a "pop" and realized Gavin had shot himself.
