KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two weeks before Christmas and less than year into his law enforcement career, a young Kansas deputy found himself desperately trying to save a 3-year-old boy who had accidentally shot himself with an unsecured handgun.
Reno County deputy Andrew Nagel’s efforts were in vain, and Kaden Nagel, his son, died at the scene — one of four minors killed in accidental shootings in the state since 2014.
