Shotgun Blast Kills Young Boy
Allan Ritsuo Kunbota, 12, of Los Angeles, died last Thursday from self-inflicted 
gunshot wounds according to a sheriff's report signed by deputy Tom Shuell.
The deceased was hunting in Kelso Valley with his brothers Raymond and Norman, 
and he is reported to have put his shotgun, butt first into the back of the pickup they 
were using when it went off practically decapitating him.
Funeral services were held at the Sukey Funeral Home in Los Angeles after an 
inquest held at the O'Donnell Funeral Home in Mojave. Accidental death was the 
verdict.
