Officials are unclear how everything transpired, but the boy’s death is being investigated as a suicide. It took only one bullet to kill Ian and when his father and brother returned home they were “overcome with grief.”
The incident marks yet another tragic ending to a child’s life because of firearms. The Associated Press reported that about one child every other day has died as a result of accidental shooting, either by themselves or someone else.
