Routt County Sheriff's Office officials investigate at a home in the Stagecoach area where a Steamboat Springs police officer's 3-year-old son was killed after a gun accidentally went off.

A Steamboat Springs police officer and his wife will not face charges , prosecutors announced Friday.

The 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office says a grand jury declined to press charges against Michael and Joni Stiles.

Gavin Stiles  at the Yampa Valley Hospital from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities say.

Michael Stiles is on unpaid leave from his post at the Steamboat Springs Police Department.

“I referred this matter to our grand jury at its first available date to ensure that our community, through its representatives on the grand jury, participated in decisions about this incident,” District Attorney Brett Barkey said in a statement.
