6-month-old boy shot by father dies, officials say

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The 6-month-old boy allegedly shot by his father in Clark County Wednesday has succumbed to his injuries, authorities announced Friday morning.

In a release, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office said the child’s mother, who was also shot, and family were with him when he passed.

Officials say the woman called 911 and reported that her husband, 42-year-old David Stansbury, had shot her, their child and himself.

The Sheriff’s Office said there does not appear to be any past domestic violence cases between the Stansbury and the woman.

The woman’s and the child’s name have not been released.
