    The Marysville Police Department says it has been overwhelmed with requests from people who want to help the family of the officer who lost his 7-year-old daughter to a bullet fired by one of his other children.

    Jenna Carlile, of Camano Island, was fatally wounded on March 10 when she and her siblings were in the family’s car parked outside the Stanwood City Hall. The parents had stepped outside for a few minutes and one of Jenna’s younger sibling’s found the gun in the glove box and shot the older girl.

    She died the next day at Harborview Medical Center. Marysville police Cmd. Robb Lamoureux said the girl’s father, police officer Derek Carlile, is a highly respected and well-loved member of the police force and that the girl’s death was devastating not only to his immediate family but the young officer’s police family as well.

    In response to inquiries, the department has established a benevolent fund at Opus Bank to assist with the child’s medical bills and burial costs.

    Donations may be deposited at any branch in Marysville, Arlington, Everett, Lake Stevens or Snohomish or can be mailed to: The Jenna Carlile Fund, Opus Bank, 815 State Ave., Marysville, WA, 98279

  4. Praying for the family. I have kids and can only glimpse into how complete the pain and heartbreak of this tragedy is. My hope is that through Jenna's death, that can't be reversed whether I post here on the blog or don't, maybe others will feel the pain too and never make the same errors... and make Jenna's death bring forth maybe life for another child or other children. Something good out of somehthing so horrible. God loves us. God knows.

  5. WHY HASN"T THIS COP BEEN CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER LIKE THE COUPLE IN TACOMA?

    ReplyDelete
  6. That's a good question and I look forward to an answer if someone has it. Today I heard about the other couplee on the news. The mom is still in jail but dad bonded out. They ran in the store for a quick minute and their son undid his child seat they say, and killed himself.

    I AM NOT hoping anyone goes to jail. This is so horrible I can't imagine. But why one couple is charged and the other is not - in the same time frame and the same state - is a good question.

    I'm really sorry to all involved. Though I don't have a gun in my house (because of my kids) this could have happened to so many people. Personally, I'd rather see the one couple NOT be charged that ask that the other couple ALSO be charged. There is no criminal intent at all. There has to be some other way to send a message to the community.

    The mother of a 3-year-old boy who shot and killed himself with a gun he found in the family car pleaded not guilty to a second degree manslaughter charge. In court Wednesday, a judge ordered Jahnisha R. McIntosh, 22, held on $15,000 bail. The man who owned the weapon, 23-year-old Eric B. Vita, also pleaded not guilty to a second degree manslaughter charge and his bail was set at $25,000. Investigators say McIntosh's son, Julio Segura-McIntosh, shot himself in the head with Vita's handgun after Vita and McIntosh stopped for gas in Tacoma on March 14...
