"[A] 911 call was made from a home on Golden Eagle Way. In that 911 call, a woman said a loaded shotgun was left on a table and she did not know it. In the call, she said her husband had been hunting on Sunday night.
Stout said on Tuesday that deputies had charged 31-year-old James Stepp with one felony county of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Abigail Newman's death. He said Stepp was the homeowner and husband referenced in the 911 call."

Just an accident? A fluke?
Well, according to the Washington Post, "In 2015 so far, at least 13 toddlers have inadvertently killed themselves with firearms. 18 more injured themselves, 10 injured other people, and 2 killed other people."
So, it happens about once a week.
