Dog the Bounty Hunter’s Stepson Gregory Zecca Involved in Accidental Shooting That Killed 13-Year-Old Son

The tragic incident involving Gregory Zecca, the stepson of Dog the Bounty Hunter, has drawn significant media attention following the accidental shooting of his 13-year-old son, Anthony. This heartbreaking event occurred on July 19 in Naples, Florida, and has been described by authorities as an "isolated accident" . The loss of a young life under such circumstances raises questions regarding firearm safety and parental responsibility. It is crucial to analyze how such incidents can be prevented in the future.

Gregory Zecca allegedly shot and killed his son, Anthony, 13. Gregory Zecca is the son and Anthony is the grandson of Chapman’s wife, Francie. The incident occurred Saturday night at an apartment in Naples, Florida.

“We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony,” Chapman and his wife, Francie Chapman told TMZ.

    Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman got engaged to his current wife, Francie, after both of their spouses died. Duane Chapman was married to Beth for 13 years before she passed away due to throat cancer.

    In an interview with Entertainment, Francie explained the strength of their new relationship, saying,  “We understood the pain that the other one was feeling and [in] those tough days and moments, we helped each other stand up. We could cry with each other and talk about what we were feeling. We were able to walk alongside each other through the pain and heartbreak and it brought us together in this amazing way.”

    Dog, 72, and his wife, Francie Chapman through a representative, "We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible, tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony."

    Representatives for the couple, as well as the Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), did not immediately  for comment on Sunday, July 20.

    In light of this tragedy, it is essential to consider the psychological impact on families involved in accidental shootings. Dog and his wife, Francie Frane, are reportedly grieving deeply for their loss . Such incidents not only affect immediate family members but also ripple through communities as they provoke discussions about gun ownership and safety protocols. As society grapples with these issues, comprehensive education on responsible firearm handling becomes increasingly vital.
