Awareness of your environment is the fourth of the "Four Rules of Gun Safety."
As HunterEd.com puts it: "If you pull the trigger, you cannot take back the bullet! Everything and everyone in front of, near, and beyond your target is your responsibility. Make sure you have an adequate backstop and never shoot at a flat, hard surface or water."
A GoFundMe was set up for Kameron's family.
