SOUTH WEBER, Davis County — A South Weber woman who was 36 weeks pregnant died of a gunshot wound Wednesday, but her unborn baby survived.

Maleah "Mia" Glover-Evans died of a gunshot injury, according to Davis County sheriff's officials who have declined to discuss the circumstances of the shooting. Sheriff's Sgt. DeAnn Survey did say, however, that investigators are not actively looking for any suspects.

"We're confident there is no threat to the public," she said. "We're leaning toward more … that (the shooting) was intentional."

The incident happened just before 10 a.m. Wednesday. The sheriff's office released a brief statement Thursday, saying that a "full investigation" is being conducted.

"This is a very tragic situation where the family is requesting privacy in order to grieve," the statement says. "We are unable to discuss the details of this case at this time due to the sensitive nature and the untimely death of the mother."

According to the GoFundMe* page set up to help the newborn boy as well as Glover-Evans' husband and three other children, Glover-Evans was flown by medical helicopter to a local hospital where an emergency cesarean section was performed.

"The child miraculously survived. Her beautiful baby boy is struggling to gain his strength and be the miracle that her husband and children desperately need," according to the page.

Glover-Evans' husband "is a disabled veteran who served two tours to Iraq. He currently suffers from serious health problems that cause him to walk with a cane and limits his ability to care for his family," according to the GoFundMe page.

The site includes a collage of a pregnant Glover-Evans with the caption, "36 weeks." According to Glover-Evans' Facebook page, she was a wellness advocate at doTERRA International.

Tony Glover, the woman's father, thanked well-wishers on his Facebook page for supporting his family during this "overwhelming" and "difficult time."

"Please continue to keep us, her husband David, kids, and the baby in your thoughts and prayers," he wrote.
