The boy, described as Caucasian, was the son of a Reno County Sheriff’s deputy. According to accounts, Kaden found a loaded handgun that belonged to his father; the firearm discharged while the child had it, and he suffered a fatal wound. His father was in another room and came when he heard the shot; emergency personnel pronounced Kaden dead at the scene.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation was asked to lead the inquiry into the circumstances. Did anyone in the area have information about the day or about safe-storage practices in similar households?
