On January 19, 2015, nine-month-old Corbin Andrew Wiederholt died at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City from a gunshot wound to the head. Earlier that day a call had been placed saying the infant had been shot with a paintball gun by his five-year-old brother. Responding officers found that the older brother had instead discovered a loaded .22 caliber Magnum revolver on a shelf in the master bed’s headboard; the boy was holding the gun when it discharged and struck Corbin, who was in a playpen in the same room.

The firearm belonged to a family member. Nodaway County Sheriff Darren White described the incident as a tragic accident, and the county prosecutor decided not to file criminal charges, concluding the mother was unaware of the gun’s presence and that it was not left in plain sight. Corbin was born April 15, 2014, and had lived in Omaha, Clarinda, and Almont before the family was in Elmo at the time of his death.

Does anyone have information about Corbin’s life in the communities mentioned or remember the family from Elmo?
