Fifteen-year-old Justin McGhee died on the afternoon of August 5, 2015, after a .22-caliber rifle accidentally discharged while being unloaded on the property of a home on Clinard Road in Barren Plains, Tennessee. Deputies arrived about 4:01 p.m., found Justin in critical condition, and resuscitative efforts continued as he was taken to NorthCrest Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Justin was a student at Jo Byrns High School. His father served as a School Resource Officer with the Robertson County Sheriff’s Office, the same agency that responded and investigated. The sheriff’s office concluded the shooting was a tragic accident, found no criminal intent, and made no arrests.

Grief counselors were provided to classmates and friends, and a funeral service was held on August 8, 2015. If anyone knew Justin or was at the Clinard Road property that day and can add details, please share what’s known.
