Six-year-old Millie Drew Kelly died after being struck by a bullet on April 8, 2019, at the family home on Laurelcrest Lane in Dallas, Georgia. Millie and her four-year-old brother were in the family car with their mother in the driveway when the vehicle failed to start. The mother stepped out briefly to check the problem; during that short time the boy found a handgun stored in the center console and accidentally discharged it. The bullet struck Millie in the head.

Millie was taken to a local children’s hospital in critical condition and died on April 10, 2019. Her family donated her organs. The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office investigated and ruled the shooting a tragic accident; after review, authorities announced no charges would be filed against the parents. The community responded with support, including a GoFundMe page.
