Khaberni -The family of Duane Chapman, famous American reality TV star known as "Dog the Bounty Hunter," experienced a shocking humanitarian tragedy after his son-in-law, Gregory Zeitcha, accidentally shot his 13-year-old son Anthony in their apartment in Florida.
According to information provided by "The Sun" newspaper, the horrific incident occurred last Saturday evening, around eight o'clock local time, when the Florida police were informed of a shooting incident within the family's private residential complex.
Upon the police's arrival at the apartment, the boy had been hit by a fatal gunshot, and attempts to save him were unsuccessful; he died at the scene before he could be transported to any medical center.
So far, there is no evidence of criminal intent or premeditated murder, and authorities have classified the incident as an accidental occurrence resulting from unsafe handling of the weapon at home.
The spokesperson for Duane and his wife Frances confirmed that the family is going through a difficult mourning period, and requested that the public respect their privacy, emphasizing that the incident is an unbelievable tragedy and that the family is still trying to comprehend what happened.
Duane Chapman, globally known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, is one of the most famous bounty hunters in the United States, having gained fame through his appearances in reality TV shows that documented his real-life adventures in chasing fugitives and bringing them to justice.
Gregory, the father who accidentally killed his son, works with his grandfather Duane Chapman on the "Bounty Hunting" team, making the presence of a firearm in his home a normal occurrence. However, its misuse led to the tragic death of the grandson.
It's worth noting that Anthony, who died, is the son of Gregory Zeitcha and his mother is the daughter of Frances, Duane Chapman's wife from a previous marriage, making the child's relationship to the reality TV star a family connection rather than a blood relation.
