## Summary

Georgia father Dante Vinson has been arrested on charges following the fatal shooting of his three-year-old son, Kamron West, at a home in Butler. Prosecutors allege involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct, focusing on how the child was able to reach a firearm; the case highlights the risks of leaving guns accessible to children.

The shooting happened on 7 March, and the child’s mother tried CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while taking him towards hospital. Emergency responders took over, but he died from his injuries. Investigators from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Taylor County Sheriff’s Office examined the circumstances for more than seven months. Authorities have not said where the gun was kept, whether it was loaded or how the child gained access to it.
