Kaiden Vague was a 16-year-old sophomore at Dos Pueblos High School in Santa Barbara who died after an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound on February 15, 2018. The shooting happened about 1:00 p.m. at the Glass Factory shooting range, an open target-shooting area off East Camino Cielo Road in the Los Padres National Forest. He was practicing with his father and brother and was airlifted by CALstar to Cottage Hospital, where he died the next day on his 16th birthday.

Kaiden was described as adventurous, humorous, and kind. He had high-functioning autism and helped raise awareness for the disabled community; his family runs a nonprofit called Softin Inc. that offers seafaring opportunities for people with disabilities. His family donated his organs, and no arrests or suspects were identified because authorities ruled the death accidental. A community fundraising page was created to help with funeral and medical expenses.

Does anyone who knew Kaiden or was at the Glass Factory range that day have additional information to share?
