(Roseau, MN) — Two Minnesota parents are facing charges after a child fatally shoots their sibling. Theodore and Danielle Stewart of Roseau, Minnesota are facing gross-misdemeanor charges of negligent storage of firearms in connection with the death of their eight-year-old son. According to the criminal complaint, one of their young sons fatally shot his brother with a rifle that was left unattended. The officers also recovered 14 rifles and pistols in the parents’ bedroom, “many of which were loaded.” An emergency petition filed in court a few days after the shooting led to the Stewarts’ children being placed in protective custody that was later rescinded.
