Deputies and detectives from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office responded with members of Libby Volunteer Ambulance. Upon arrival they were told that a three- year old male child had accidentally been shot in the face.
Emergency life saving treatment was administered and the child was transported to Cabinet Peaks Medical Center, where he later died.
The scene was secured, a search warrant was applied for and received. Deputies and Detectives then returned and processed the scene. The child’s father, 24-year-old Timothy Moore, has been charged with Negligent Homicide and is being held in the Lincoln County Detention center on $500,000 bond.

Updates will be provided as they are available.
Timothy Moore DID NOT SHOOT THIS CHILD!! He irresponsibly left his gun on the couch and went outside to smoke. This is conjecture and sensationalism to attract readers, You “Media Moguls” are just a bunch of vultures!! Get your facts right, Felicia!!
We have no one working here named Felicia, fella, and the article to which you refer is a press release from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. Regardless of the circumstance this is a tragic incident, yet it does not warrant unfounded speculation, spurious accusations nor the setting aside of civil behavior.
Now that I think of it, there might be a Felicia in the group of buzzards up in the moguls’ office in the penthouse suite. I’ll get back to you, sir. ~ Mike Weland
