A 21-year-old Blackfoot woman, Kaylanee Orr, died from an accidental gunshot wound during a hunting trip with her relatives in Fremont County.

According to Fremont County Coroner Brenda Dye, the incident occurred on Friday, resulting in Orr's death. Her aunt, Amanda Graff, provided details about the accident, stating that a relative's gun accidentally discharged, striking Orr in the chest.

“They were in a very isolated area that they’ve hunted before,” says Graff. “(The relative) tried to save her life for over an hour doing chest compressions until people got there to help, (but) she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Orr's death is a tragic reminder of the importance of gun safety, especially in isolated areas.
