Ty Blane Red, 14, of Utah, died Friday, July 1, 2011 at Star Valley Medical Center. The teenager was a victim of an accidental shooting.  According to information provided by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Friday, July 1, 2011 deputies and area EMTs responded to a call for aid in the Bedford area. The call came in at approximately 4 p.m.  Red had apparently been target shooting at the time of the incident. A bullet entered his abdomen, Lt. Brian Andrews of the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said.
“No one really knows exactly how it occurred because nobody was with him to witness what happened,” said Andrews. “His dad heard a gun shot and then his son calling out for help.”

The boy was transported to Star Valley Medical Center and died that same evening of the injuries sustained in the incident.
