Eh Thon Gar, 22, was fatally wounded during an informal target-practice outing north of Aberdeen, South Dakota. On the late evening of May 25, 2015, Gar and two adults were shooting .22-caliber rifles near an abandoned bridge with two small children present. A 4-year-old boy picked up one of the rifles and a single shot struck Gar in the abdomen. He was taken to Avera St. Luke’s Hospital in Aberdeen and died the next day.

Investigators described the shooting as accidental; the county medical examiner and reports noted the adults had underestimated how quickly a child might imitate them. Gar left behind a wife and a young daughter.
