Utah Boy, 5, Fatally Shoots Himself with Parent's Handgun

Family mourns 'unimaginable tragedy' as authorities highlight lack of mandatory firearm storage laws in Utah.

Brooks Thomas Wilson, 5, found a loaded 9mm pistol in his parents' bedroom and accidentally shot himself.
The child's parents, Bryan and Kristin Wilson, were at home and attempted CPR, but Brooks died from his injuries.
Santaquin Police ruled the shooting accidental; no foul play is suspected and no charges are being pursued.
Utah law does not require firearms to be secured, and there are no mandatory child access prevention laws.
The Wilson family expressed deep regret and urged others to take precautions to prevent similar tragedies.
