Dog’s stepson brought the child years to guns years before he killed teen

The Instagram account of Zecca, which seems to have been deactivated after the shocking loss, revealed the moment when he and his son, Anthony, at the time only 9 years old, spent time in a weapon range.

The father, also a premium hunter, such as his stepfather dog, brought Anthony to Franktown Firearms Shooting Center in Franktown, Colorado, in 2021 to practice shooting a gun.

“Work in time to get some reach with our friends @franknfirearms,” wrote Zecca, 38, then next to Snaps of the day, including one of the young boy holding a large gun.

The posts gained again after the shooting. Legal enforcement officials confirmed that they arrived after a call on the shooting around 8 p.m.

Authorities have classified the incident as “isolated” and have not yet announced arrests.
