Dad Accidentally Shoots 14-Year-Old Son Dead In Front of Family At Gun Range

A Fourth of July weekend family trip to the gun range turned tragic for a teen, whose father accidentally shot him dead. Stephen Brumby was with brother and sister when an errant spent shell casing struck their father, William Brumby, and somehow landed in his shirt. 'Brumby then used his right hand, which was holding the handgun, in an attempt to remove the casing. While doing so, he inadvertently pointed the firearm directly behind him and accidently fired,' investigators said. #InsideEdition

Having your child dead is horrible already, but you being the cause is hearkbreaking, this man may never forgive himself...

[boltoms]

This is horrible. I hope that man can find some kind of peace.

As a dad who would do anything to protect my son, I can't even fathom accidentally being the cause of the worst case scenario. I know this is older but my thoughts and prayers will still go out to this family tonight.

I been trained to handle weapons for decades, and in most accidents I could usually tie it into negligence, but this is one of those rare situations where it was a legit accident. My heart goes out to this family, and prayers to the father, I know it is destroying him on the inside.

[yourmomsuncle]

a fathers worst fear is to outlive his children, let alone being the reason you did outlive them.

[JupiterSentMe]

He definitely should not go to jail, accidentally killing your son is already the worst possible punishment

[lemoncake]

I can’t imagine how that father, brother, and family feels losing a child to an awful mishap. The emotional weight of having accidentally killed your own son is worse than any sentence in jail. And the poor kid that had to watch it all. Keeping that whole family in my thoughts.

[hakeaooda]

Wow, he’ll relive that moment many times during his lifetime… horrible.

[emerylsg]

that father is gonna have to live with killing his own son everyday for the rest of his life. truly heartbreaking

The older brother having the strength just to describe this accident had me crying. I have 4 boys ranging from 4-20. I can’t imagine the pain the dad is feeling.

[gachastar]

I feel bad for the victim, whole family and his loved ones. This is a pure accident and the father must be in such a disbelief

[dineshapunchihewa]

I still remember the cries of a father who accidentally killed his toddler with his tractor. I was a medical officer . He cried all night out side my quarters. Still haunts me

[rdelamadrid]

As a parent, it would take everything I had not to kill myself. No words.

[mrxman]

This is just awful. I hope they all mentally and emotionally recover to the extent that they can, especially the father. Rest in Piece, Steven.

[ShootNowAskLater]

That is a series of highly unfortunate events. Glad they didn’t humiliate him by putting his face on tv. He feels bad enough already.

[KiraLawliet]

Don't punish. There's nothing anyone could do to this man that's worse than what he'll have to live with.

[Grannyknockers]

Man my heart breaks for that family. I can't even imagine what his dad went through after that.

[jjperezzzz]

I’m just confused why no one is talking about the amount of ricochets in that one room? Shouldn’t there be stuff that catches bullets and not make them ricochet?

[PianoMessage]

💧 Sadly the father will never forgive himself. I pray that he does 🙏🏼 but it will be so hard

[momchilandonov]

I am wondering why the ceiling was a ricochet suitable surface?! Also, so irresponsible from the father to hold his finger on the trigger!
