Keon Myers, 38, of Columbia, South Carolina was so despondent over the accidental shooting of his son, Kyree Myers, that he then shot himself.
Columbia police officials said in a news release that officers responded to the family’s home around 11 a.m. Wednesday, September 6, 2017 after the boy’s mother called 911. When officers arrived, they found Keon Myers threatening to shoot himself.
Despite officers’ attempts to get the grieving father to drop the weapon, he shot himself in the head, the news release said.
Autopsies found that both father and son died of single gunshot wounds to the head.
They will both be laid to rest next Wednesday. We can’t even imagine the grief and pain their loved ones must be feeling. Our deepest sympathies are with them. Rest peacefully, together forever, Keon & Kyree…
