News summary

An 8-year-old boy tragically died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while alone in a car outside a Maverik convenience store in Lehi, Utah. The incident occurred around 7:40 p.m. on Monday, with witnesses reporting that the boy's mother was inside the store at the time. The boy reportedly found a gun under the seat of the vehicle and accidentally pulled the trigger. This incident follows another recent case in Utah where a 5-year-old boy also died from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound. Utah lacks laws requiring safe storage of firearms, contributing to ongoing concerns about gun safety around minors. Investigations are ongoing to determine how the child accessed the weapon and to address the implications for gun safety in the community.
