Eric Hummel, 33, shot and killed nine-year-old Olivia at their home in Hobart, Ohio
A DAD is heard begging for help after accidentally shooting his own daughter in the head while trying to teach his kids about gun safety in this harrowing 911 recording.
Eric Hummel called cops after he killed nine-year-old Olivia at their home in Hobart, Ohio, on June 10.
The 33-year-old was reportedly trying to teach Olivia and her twin 10-year-old brothers about securely handling firearms when he pulled the trigger on the 9mm handgun without realising it was loaded.
The bullet hit his daughter in the forehead from two feet away.
In the chilling footage, obtained by the , he is heard to say: "I had my gun, and I pulled the trigger and I didn't realise there was a bullet in there and I shot my daughter.
"Oh god, oh my god no, oh my god."
He asks if he should do CPR and the operator asks him if he wants to try it.
Hummel said: "Should I press on her chest? She's got blood everywhere man."
After he sends the twins downstairs to wait for the ambulance, he says: "What the f*** just happened.
"Please don't go. Oh my god, please don't go."
Hummel told cops he showed the gun to the boys and told them "not to ever play with it because it can kill someone."
Hummel then pointed it at his daughter and pulled the trigger, "thinking it was empty," according to court records.
Yesterday he was charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in death, battery resulting in death to a person less than 14 years old, reckless homicide and two counts of neglect of a dependent.
He pleaded not guilty and will appear in court on August 24.
