Description
An infant girl was killed in late 2021 in Granite Falls after her father's gun fell off a coffee table and went off, court documents say.
The parents of the deceased 1-year-old, Arabella Watts and Jesse Kitson, were charged in January with first-degree manslaughter and unsafe storage of a firearm in the first degree. Watts is also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, as she had a previous felony conviction barring her from possessing a firearm.
According to court documents, Kitson placed his loaded and holstered .45 caliber revolver on the coffee table in front of his sofa, where his 1-year-old daughter and Watts were sitting. At some point, the gun fell off the coffee table and fired after hitting the ground. The bullet traveled through the holster and hit the child.
