A Heartbreaking Incident in Litchfield Park
What went down
- A 11‑year‑old boy, named for simplicity, allegedly pulled a gun on his 65‑year‑old grandmother, Yvonne Woodard, after a tense moment of being told to clean his room.
- The tragic event unfolded while the family’s 65‑year‑old couple quietly enjoyed a TV show in their living room.
- The boy, apparently upset, aimed the firearm—believed to belong to the grandfather—in the back of grandmother Woodard‘s head.
- After the fatal shot, the grandfather chased the boy, only to return to help his wife, during which time the boy turned the weapon on himself.
Why it matters
We Are Still in Shock

A Rumble of Emotions
- Loss: The MD might be blown by an irony that a younger generation’s impulse leads to death for family.
- Yes, end up suffocating the pretty humorist interpersonal conflict.
- Help: We hope others who get sad see that it’s best to keep lines open and create safe rules for guns.
