The death of a northwest Missouri infant who was shot and killed by his 5-year-old brother Monday is set for review by a Child Fatality Review Board.

“We’re required by state law to impanel the child fatality review board,” Nodaway County Sheriff Darren White said.

The board made up of local residents will meet Wednesday afternoon to review the infant’s death.

The 9-month-old was shot at his home in Elmo, Mo. Monday morning.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the child’s mother Alexis Wiederholt called 911 at 8:58 a.m. asking for an ambulance to respond to her home located at 101 S. Scott.

Wiederholt allegedly told dispatch her 5-year-old son had shot her 9-month-old son in the head with a paintball gun.  However, when law enforcement and medical personnel arrived it was determined that the infant had been shot in the head with a .22 magnum revolver.

The child was flown from the scene to Children’s Mercy Hospital by Life Net Air Ambulance but did not survive.

White said the Sheriff’s office is still compiling reports and processing evidence which will then be turned over to the prosecuting attorney
