Three-year-old Anthony Blake Wells died after an accidental shooting in his family’s apartment in the Algonquin neighborhood of Louisville. According to investigators, the child woke while other family members slept, found a handgun his father had tried to hide, and began playing with it. The gun discharged, fatally wounding him in the head. He was transported to Kosair Children’s Hospital and died on Monday, September 12, 2016.

The Louisville Metro Police Department Major Crimes unit investigated and concluded the shooting was a tragic accident. The firearm was legally owned, and investigators did not anticipate filing charges against the parents. This was the second accidental shooting involving a child in that same apartment complex within weeks.

Did anyone living in or near the Algonquin complex notice unsafe storage of firearms or other risks to children before these incidents?
