ADVANCE FOR USE FRIDAY, OCT. 14, 2016, AT 3:01 A.M. EDT AND THEREAFTER-Joshua Casto leads the Tama County Young Guns class at the Izaak Walton Shooting Facility in Toledo, Iowa, on April 14, 2016. Casto had drilled gun safety into his children for years. They are a family of hunters, in a part of central Iowa where taking to the fields with rifle in hand is a way of life. So what happened two days after Christmas in 2014 was widely considered a tragic and freak accident. As he prepared for a deer hunt, Casto’s teenage son stumbled. The muzzleloader he was carrying discharged, and the shot fatally struck his 12-year-old sister Liesel. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)
