In the summer of 2018, the life of a young White/Caucasian man, Barry Engman Anderson, a 19-year-old male from Calera, Alabama, was cut tragically short. On the evening of June 19, 2018, in the small community of Five Points in Chambers County, Anderson was with a group of friends. The gathering took a devastating turn when a firearm was discharged.
According to the Chambers County Sheriff's Office, the initial investigation indicated that Anderson had been handling the weapon when it
accidentally fired, inflicting a fatal wound upon himself. Emergency services were called to the scene, but sadly, Anderson succumbed to his injuries. The incident was treated as an accidental death, and as such, there were no suspects sought by law enforcement in connection with the shooting, and no arrests were made.
Barry, who had just turned 19 three days prior to the incident, was remembered by his family and friends. His passing left a void in the lives of his parents, sister, and extended family. A visitation and funeral service were held in his memory in the days following the tragic accident, where those who knew him gathered to mourn the sudden and heartbreaking loss of a young life.
