American Fork doesn't have hardly any murders, much less children.... this was more than a little shocking to see.
I am unclear on if the father shot the baby intentionally, but was stopped from shooting himself...
Or if the father was trying to shoot himself and during the struggle accidentally shot the baby.
I think it was intentional... because it says he was prevented from pulling the trigger "again."
This is all very early on however.
Police took one man into custody, the child's father according to family members.

Just before 1 p.m., police were called to a home near 500 North and 500 East on a report that a child had been shot.
They found the baby boy with a gunshot wound to his head.

A family friend told KSL News it was the child's father who shot him.
The person said the father was about to shoot himself when someone in the house tackled him before he could pull the trigger again.

Neighbors say that an older couple lived in the home, along with adult children and grandchildren.
