Liam Paul Lee Mankins
Age 2

It was a gun left “unsecured”
He was 2 years old and had a dog, a black-and-white-and-brown puppy with big, black ears and spots of the same color. An old photo showed the dog curled protectively around him.
His family also had a gun, which was left unsecured on that fateful Sunday morning. It was loaded.
