SOUTH HUTCHINSON – The family and friends of a 3-year-old who lost his life in a tragic accident on Friday have established a Gofundme page to raise money to help them with final expenses and to help the family on the path to recovery, according to the Reno County Sheriff’s office.

Kaden William Nagle was the son of Reno County Sheriffs Deputy Andrew Nagle and Stephanie Rooney.
The boy died from a self-inflicted gunshot after he found a loaded handgun.
Reno County Sheriff Randy Henderson said the boy found a loaded Glock handgun in the apartment his father shares with a friend, according to a media release.
He says Andrew Nagel was in another room and heard a gunshot. He ran to his son and found him with a gunshot wound.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene. Reno County District Attorney Keith Schroeder says the gun that killed Kaden did not belong to his father.
It belonged to “a friend” of someone at the apartment where Nagel was living temporarily.
