Liesl Casto, 12, was killed Saturday when her muzzleloader rifle accidentally went off. The DNR said this was the first firearm hunting fatality in Iowa since 2010.
Stories: KCCI, KWWL, KCRG. Inspiring community note from the latter: “Liesel’s church youth group quickly organized a spaghetti dinner fundraiser for the family. After seeing lines of people, organizers worried they’d actually run out of food.”
(I waffled on posting anything about this, but it would seem like an omission if I didn’t, you know?)
