BLACKFOOT — A 21-year-old woman was accidentally shot during a hunting trip and died from her injuries Friday.

Kaylanee Orr from Blackfoot died from an accidental gunshot wound, according to Fremont County Coroner Brenda Dye.

Amanda Graff, Orr’s aunt, says the woman was on a planned hunting trip in Fremont County when a relative’s gun accidentally discharged, striking her in the chest.

“They were in a very isolated area that they’ve hunted before,” says Graff. “(The relative) tried to save her life for over an hour doing chest compressions until people got there to help, (but) she was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Orr had recently served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New Zealand before returning and getting married in April 2024.
