The Seattle Times reports on the story which we posted before
Carlile has been on paid administrative leave since March 2012, when his toddler son found a handgun and fatally shot his 7-year-old sister. Carlile had left the gun in the family van while the children were unattended.
Carlile had been charged with second-degree manslaughter after the shooting, but the charge was dismissed after a Snohomish County jury was unable to reach a verdict after a trial in Snohomish County Superior Court at the end of last year.
Carlile, 32, and his family were in a rush to get to a wedding when they stopped off at a friend’s antiques shop in Stanwood on March 10, 2012. Carlile and his wife had left their four children in the van alone for a few minutes when their then-3-year-old son found a loaded .38-caliber revolver that Carlile had left in a cup holder between the front seats.
Carlile’s son got out of his booster seat, grabbed the gun and shot his sister Jenna in the abdomen. She died at a Seattle hospital.
