On Christmas Eve 2013, two-month-old Kestyn Grace Davis was fatally wounded by a single gunshot to her abdomen in the family’s Countryside Apartments unit on Old Philadelphia Pike in East Lampeter, Pennsylvania. Authorities say Kestyn’s father, 35-year-old G. Scott Davis, was alone with the infant and handling a loaded handgun when the firearm discharged and the bullet struck the baby.

Prosecutors described the discharge as unintentional and reported Davis was unaware a round was in the chamber. He was charged with involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and endangering the welfare of a child; his attorney said he intended to plead guilty. The involuntary manslaughter charge carried a possible maximum sentence of 10 years.

The case prompted public discussion about gun safety in homes with young children. If anyone knew the family or has information about the circumstances that night, please share what can help clarify what happened.
