A police report made available Monday says 11-year-old Kylee Dawn Woods of Easley was shot accidentally by her father Saturday.

Pickens County Coroner Kandy Kelley said in a previous statement that an accidental shooting led to the death of Kylee.

Kylee and several other family members and friends were outside Saturday afternoon target shooting, using several firearms including pellet guns and a .40-caliber handgun and aiming at plastic bottles.

Kylee's father had removed the magazine from the handgun and was attempting to remove a chambered round when the gun discharged and the round struck the child who was only a few feet away, according to the incident report that recounts what family members told a deputy.

The father yelled out "I'm sorry baby," according to the report. Kylee was immediately taken by her father and grandfather to Cannon Memorial Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, according to the report.

The handgun had been fired only a few times that day, and Kylee's grandfather told deputies that the father was trying to sell it to him for Christmas money.

The report says there is no indication of suspicious activity.

Kelley said the incident is being investigated by the Pickens County Sheriff's Office.

Kelley said an autopsy was scheduled Monday.
