Missouri investigation finds man and child died from non-police gunfire in Lawson incident.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol has concluded that a man and a child found dead in Lawson, Missouri, were not killed by police gunfire. In the November incident, officers responded to a domestic disturbance where the suspect, Brett Yager, fired at them, injuring a deputy. Yager and a 3-year-old child were later found dead; Yager died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and the child's death was from a gunshot not fired by law enforcement. No charges are expected against the officers involved.
