Two-and-a-half-year-old Wyatt Bradley Luczak, born October 29, 2019, died after a gunshot injury sustained at his Kouts, Indiana home on July 17, 2022. The child, known as Wy Wy, was taken to a hospital in Chicago after finding a loaded handgun and shooting himself; he died two days later on July 19, 2022. Wyatt’s family included parents Mike and Heather Luczak and a sister, Blakely. The community mourned his loss.

The Porter County Sheriff’s Office conducted a month-long investigation to determine whether negligence contributed to the shooting. In August 2022 the Porter County Prosecutor announced no criminal charges would be filed, saying the evidence would not support proving a reckless act beyond a reasonable doubt under Indiana law.

Does anyone have information about the safety measures in the home or the firearm’s storage that could help clarify how this tragedy occurred?
