Aubrie Nicole Moore was a 4-year-old girl from Middle Point, Ohio, who died on April 9, 2020, after being fatally injured in a shooting at her home. The Van Wert County Sheriff’s Department received a 9-1-1 call at 1:39 p.m. reporting a young girl with a gunshot wound; Aubrie was taken to St. Rita’s Medical Center in Lima and pronounced dead there.

Investigators from the Van Wert County Sheriff’s Department and the Van Wert County Coroner’s Office determined the death was accidental, caused by a firearm mishap. Aubrie was the daughter of Kati Burgoon and Curtis Moore; both parents were charged with third-degree felony counts of endangering children and entered pleas of not guilty. Her obituary described her as joyful and loving, and the family asked that donations in her memory be made to the Van Wert Early Childhood Center.

Does anyone have information about the day of the shooting or about safety practices in the community that could help prevent another tragedy like this?
