The interesting part is that the rifle turned up in the back seat of an off duty cop's cruiser. Going to be interesting to see how this turns out.
Having had a 16 year old cousin shot and killed in a hunting "accident" I am really no fan of the wild distribution of firearms.

While I feel for your loss Merry,
I had a friend killed by a baseball bat as we played a game. He moved to the outside of the plate to catch a curve ball, the batter pulled the bat back and struck him on the top of his head. He died days latter from brain injuries.
Any tool can and most likely has caused the death of someone, even when used properly.
But as an hunter I know that there is nothing more alarming than to have people that you do not know, handling firearms around you.
Again I am sorry for your loss,
Bill
