Tripp’s mother and 2-year-old sister were also in the home at the time of the incident, Sheriff Brad Swain told Tyler was transferred to IU Health Methodist Hospital and Tripp to Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis.
While Tyler is expected to recover, Tripp “passed away peacefully, surrounded by those who loved him most,” according to aA representative from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.“It takes a village to help through an accidental tragedy. The Shaw family has been through so much in this situation,” a statement on the GoFundMe page reads., the handgun has been sent for further testing as to why it fired unexpectedly.
“This case remains active by Monroe County Sheriff’s Office investigators,” according to a news release sent to the outlet. “It’s not known if any criminal charges will be filed in connection with the shooting.”
That dad is negligent at least.
Charge the dad with something...why would u leave a gun in your pocket... SMH..
And why was dad carrying IN the house? Damn man... where are the responsible gun owners!
Playing with your child and a gun in your pocket!!!!
Are you kidding me? Why did he even have a loaded gun around his son..so so sad.
😡😥💔🙏
Who the F plays with their kid with a loaded gun in their pocket in the living room?!
Total negligence on the part of the father...this could have been prevented.
Very very sad tragedy that didn't have to happen 🙁
Negligent homicide
But guns don’t kill people.....tell that to his Mom.
Just another careless death from an uneducated gun carrier. He didnt take a minute to take his gun out of his 'WAISTBAND' before he started wrestling with the kid. Put him away for life!
Heart breaking. Poor little guy had his whole life ahead and snuffed out by carelessness of his dad. It's one thing to own a gun and another to have it properly stored, away from kids. RIP lil angel.
I think people should have to take IQ tests if they want to have children. Common sense friends, put your guns away when the kids are present.
Is this the news is reporting now? This is egregious. It’s heartbreaking and devastating. But why do we need to see this ? Why ? It’s damaging to the soul and private and relative to the family and not the world. It’s sacred and you use it for clout.
So sad...where did the gun come from...was drive by shooting wrong place at the wrong time
Couldn’t put the gun away for one minute?
OMG...Amen
America...
Guess that throws the 'mental instability' BS out the window for gun control! ‼️
I'm assuming they started wrestling as he walked through the door from work or whatever and didn't remember he had the gun in his waist?🤷🏽♀️ That's the only thing I can think of as to why he had it on him in this case. So sad to be responsible for your child's death.
Nauseated reading this! There should be no reason why this father was armed in his home while playing with his son! Yes, have guns but be god damn responsible and use sense about it. Growing up in a house with guns everywhere, we were all taught safety so this didn’t happen🤯🤬
Sad - RIP 💐
That must have been a dangerous household if he needed to have a gun on him while playing with his three. year. old. child. 🙄
Heartbreaking 💔
ThoughtsAndPrayers... I learned that from the White House ... 🤷🏾♂️ (keeps scrolling)
Why are you wrestling or doing anything with your child with a gun on you. He needs to be charged
I didn’t read the article but umm why was there gun involved to begin with?!? So sad
'Hey dad, how did that RKO feel' *pulls out gun* 'How that bullet feel?'
This type of headline would have been unheard of at one point and time, considered absurd even...but today? It’s just “one of those things” ...I don’t know whether to be sad, angry, both, or none at all anymore 😕
Cause it's just another normal day in America when you wrestle your kid with a loaded whip within reach
So tragic. Prayers to his family. Peace to this sweet little boy.
Sad
Without guns this 4 year old would still be alive.
Why would anyone play wrestle with their child when they have a gun on their person
WHO WALKS AROUND WITH A GUN IN THEIR POCKET!
Either sounds suspicious or incredibly stupid and careless.
This makes me so angry stupid people should not own guns that poor child. I hope his so called Dad goes to prison forever for this stupidity this is not an accident this is beyond stupid and negligent
Why for God’s sake did he have a gun in his pants while playing with his son- this is so Tragic!
What responsible gun owner is wrestling around with a gun in his pants. Frankly this accident should have never happened! People think they have to be armed in their own homes! Seriously. Is it worth your kids life. I dont think so. Get home put your gun away its that simple.
So sad. I've been waiting for an update 😥
I get that it’s our constitutional right to bear arms as Americans but I am horrified by this story and it leaves me with a few questions. 1. Why was the safety not on? 2. Why the did this father feel that he had to have a gun on his person in his own home with his family?
R.I.P. such an innocent life caused by an accident that never should've occurred. I'm sorry but no parent should be play wrestling with their child and have a loaded weapon.
Tyler Shaw and his son Tripp were pretend wrestling in their Indiana home when a handgun that was tucked away in Tyler’s pants fell and fired a single shot. The bullet from the Glock semi-automatic handgun struck both Tyler, 36, and his son in the head.
☹️☹️☹️😢😢😢
Why are guns more important than children?
What How does this happen
...AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY GUNS SHOULD NOT BE SO EASY TO PURCHASE!!! This dad has to live the rest of his life knowing he is the reason why his son died! However, this innocent child doesn't get to grow up and have a life!!!😭 RIP little man!!!❤
🤔 What kind of person stays strapped while playing with their kids?
Wtf?
Merica
if this happened in Chicago; I'd get it. People get shot all the time in every conceivable circumstance
Put the father in jail
Because you should be armed to the teeth while playing with your kid...
It’s not an accident, it’s negligence! Not that it matters now for this sweet little boy 😔 RIP Sweet Angel 👼
Sad story. I may be seen by some as being too critical. Why did the father have a loaded gun? Why was he wrestling with his son? Putting the gun away would have solved the outcome that is all too tragic.
play-wrestling with your kid with a loaded gun in your pocket- what could go wrong? 💔 RIP lil man
What in the fuck......can't think of anything else to say.....I'm sure the dad is beyond devastated but WTF
I'm sorry what?
🙏 for this sweet angel 😇 👶!
Who needs a non-safetied, concealed gun while playing with their kid?
OMG
Another child who never had to die from guns.
Waoh, dis is sad May His Soul Rest in Peace 🙏
buy another gun!
Play wrestling with a Glock tucked in your pants😔
Come on can we fund gun safety please
But like whose job is it at People to find the most tragic/disturbing/heartbreaking stories and throw them into a headline?
America....
So sad. What a horrible thing to happen to a family. My condolences to his loved ones. INEXCUSABLE
Murika.
Why this poor sweet soul!☹️
Idiot! Irresponsible!
The most irresponsible parent ever? Wtf.
Sad An “accident” that could have possibly been avoided. Difficult lesson. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Play wrestling with a gun? WTF?
Indiana says it all.
What?!
Heartbreaking. Irresponsible gun owner Dad.
This is so sad… Wow.
