Noelle Aston Shawver : Girl, 5, Shot Dead by 5-Year-Old Friend

An Idaho girl has died in what police say was an accidental shooting at a home she was visiting. Noelle Aston Shawver, 5, was with another 5-year-old who, they say, grabbed hold of a gun while adults were in another room on Wednesday afternoon, the Idaho State Journal reports.

The girls parents are Drew and Stacie (Udy) Shawver of Blackfoot.

It was shortly after 3 p.m. when the call came into police, and Noelle was transported to Portneuf Medical Center where she later succumbed to the gunshot wound.

Citing the ongoing investigation, Chubbuck police said they would not release any additional information about the accidental shooting.

“We are not releasing any of that,” said Lt. Bill Guiberson, of the Chubbuck Police Department, referring to information about the incident, including the kind of gun that was involved. “Obviously that’s part of the investigation.”

The girl’s funeral is planned for Wednesday in Blackfoot.
