So tragic, KJ. I heard this call on the scanner, and my heart just sank. [V]
Apparently, the local news channels have reports on this tonight. (*Same information)

Big Island Thieves on FB also has a full discussion about this incident, if you read that page.
Poor child, may he rest in peace. SO horrible.
JMO.
ETA: Update (Hawaii News Now):
14-year old Big Island boy shot and killed, now key piece of evidence is missing.
Chance Dias-Elderts was shot last Friday morning. A relative called 911 saying he was shot with a BB gun, but when paramedics got there, they reported that it was a handgun that caused the injuries and paramedics reportedly saw the weapon. But when police arrived, the gun was gone.
The shooting itself was ruled 'accidental', but police are investigating the circumstances before and after the shooting.
Carleen Dias says the boy had been living with his dad and there were three adults in the home when her son was shot, but none went with the boy to the hospital.
The teen was declared brain dead and Dias says making the decision to take him off of life support, was the hardest decision of her life.
Police are working to find the gun and interviewing the people who were in the home at the time.
