BEAUFORT, N.C. — Authorities say an 11-year-old Arkansas girl visiting her father in North Carolina was killed when the 20-gauge shotgun he was unloading went off.
The Carteret County sheriff’s office said Tuesday that Michael Lee Wynne II, 35, of Beaufort called 911 for help late Monday afternoon, but authorities say the girl was pronounced dead at the scene when emergency personnel arrived. Officials say the girl’s 12-year-old sister was also in the room at the time of the accident.
