Three-year-old Jack Michael Kern died on May 13, 2011, in Ammon, Idaho, one of four family members killed in a pre-dawn attack that also claimed his infant brother, Gage, their mother Michelle Kern, 22, and her sister Malinda Kern, 19. First responders arrived after a neighbor reported a small fire at the home; when they entered they found the four victims shot and a 26-year-old man with a gunshot wound who later died at the hospital.

Investigators identified Gaylin Leirmoe, who had been in a relationship with Michelle Kern and was the father of her two sons, as the shooter. Authorities said Leirmoe set a fire in the basement, shot the family, and then shot himself; the incident was later concluded as a murder-suicide with Leirmoe named as the sole perpetrator. No arrests were made.
