Stockton Digger Huot, a two-year-old boy, died of a single gunshot wound on the evening of April 19, 2014, in his family home in Wellsville, Utah. Earlier that day his father had been using a .22-caliber rifle and later set it down in the living room. Stockton’s three-year-old sister found the firearm and, while pretending to shoot at bears, accidentally discharged it. The bullet struck Stockton. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died later that night.

The Cache County Sheriff’s Office investigated and the case was reviewed by the county attorney’s office. Investigators described the shooting as a horrible accident and no criminal charges were filed against Stockton’s parents. The community offered support to the grieving family after the loss.
