A pregnant nanny died when she got hit by a stray bullet on the chest during a family outing in Buckeye, Arizona, Sunday. According to a report by New York Post, 24-year-old Kami Gilstrap, a resident of Oklahoma, was visiting a place famous for target shooting and ATV bike riding when the incident happened.
Tamela Skaggs, detective of Buckeye Police Department, said Tuesday, “It is believed that the person involved may not know that they shot someone.”
“This does raise concerns, however, with reckless shooters in this area who are not aware of what their backdrop is when shooting,” Skaggs added.
Gilstrap’s friends said she was expecting her first child. Her husband worked for the U. S. Air Force and was stationed at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, the report stated. According to her Facebook account, she worked as a nanny for a local family.
Buckeye Police Chief Larry Hall stated that the area where Gilstrap was shot, situated north of Interstate 10 and Miller Road, was a popular destination. On Sunday, there were numerous people engaged in recreational shooting in the area, AZ Family reported.
Hall said, “There’s [sic] tons of ricochets. And our incident from yesterday was an indication that the round that was fired at our victim, yesterday, came from a completely different direction than where everybody’s firing right now.
