The office of the Clackama County's sheriff examines the circumstances of the death of a 12-year-old boy who died of a gunshot wound. According to a statement by the Sheriff office on May 19, the MPs answered reports that on Tuesday morning, May 13th, a child in a backyard in the Southeast Glen Echo Avenue near Gladstone shot in a back yard.
