Christopher Aaron Lucas, 31, died from a gunshot injury at his Bean Blossom Road home in Hamblen Township, Indiana, on the evening of May 9, 2015. A construction worker and member of Labor Union No. 120, he had been practicing a quick-draw trick with an old Western-style revolver that involved spinning the firearm on his finger before firing. The gun slipped, hit the ground and discharged; a single bullet struck his lower right abdomen.

Friends found him unresponsive later that evening; one began CPR before anyone knew he had been shot. A 911 call went out at 7:10 p.m.; the Hamblen Volunteer Fire Department arrived within eight minutes and EMS discovered the wound while treating him in the ambulance. He was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital, where he died of internal injuries and was pronounced dead surrounded by family and friends. The Brown County Sheriff’s Department investigated and ruled the shooting accidental; no arrests were made. Christopher is survived by his companion and their two children.

Did anyone who knew Christopher or who lived in the Bean Blossom area witness that evening or have information about the firearm involved?
