An afternoon at a grandmother’s Macon, Georgia, home ended in tragedy for 8-year-old Miracle Brantley after a gunshot to the head. Miracle and three siblings were at the house when a firearm brought into the residence without the grandmother’s knowledge was found. The children were reportedly playing with the gun when it discharged; their grandmother, Patricia Reed, heard the shot and found Miracle bleeding in the kitchen. She was taken to a local hospital and then airlifted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Scottish Rite, where she died the following Sunday.

Investigators arrested a 14-year-old boy and charged him with involuntary manslaughter, reckless conduct, and possession of a handgun by a person under 18; authorities said he had illegally possessed the handgun and brought it into the home. The case is being handled in juvenile court and the teen was not to be charged as an adult. The final disposition of those charges has not been reported.

If anyone knew Miracle, was at the home that day, or has information about how the firearm came into the residence, please share what you know.
