Yuma Police received the shooting call at 11:58 a.m. at a location near Yuma High School. The Yuma County Sheriffs Office is assisting the police department and has confirmed that Jaden Rahm … has died, a 3:30 p.m. press release stated. The incident happened off school grounds, south of the high school on S. Albany Street. The sheriffs office said there is still some forensic evidence to be processed and an autopsy to be performed, but the evidence points to this being a tragic accident.
