HIGH POINT, N.C. (WGHP) -- A Triad father faced a judge on Wednesday. He is facing multiple charges after his 1-year-old daughter was shot and killed. While prosecutors say Julian Helbert, 26, of Kernersville, didn't pull the trigger, they say his actions contributed to her death. It happened on Nov. 10 at a High Point apartment. High Point police announced charges against Helbert on Tuesday. It was a very emotional first appearance. Helbert is facing six charges in connection to his 13-month-old daughter’s shooting. His charges include involuntary manslaughter, felony child abuse and unsafe storage of a firearm to protect minors. His mother and other family members were also in the courtroom. “Mr. Helbert was determined to have multiple firearms in the reach of children, knowing that at least one of the children actually got into them before. Easily accessible, able to be discharged and was discharged on this case,” a prosecutor said. High Point police say a child younger than ten years old got ahold of the gun and accidentally shot and killed the 1-year-old. It happened at an apartment on Abberton Way. “There were three children in the home, too ... There was an 8-year-old who has autism and is not his biological child but for whom he had been caring,” said Stephanie Goldsborough, Julian Helbert’s attorney. Prosecutors and Helbert’s attorney said he was the only adult in the home at the time of the shooting. Prosecutors said police found at least three guns in the home. During Helbert's first appearance, he was being held in the Guilford County jail under a $250,000 bond. “$250,000 ... is just an emotional response to a very sad situation,” Goldsborough said. In court on Wednesday, his attorney asked for it to be lowered to $80,000. “He has lost his daughter. DSS is involved. The children are currently in foster care. He knows what the situation presents in that case,” Goldsborough said. Prosecutors asked for bond to be set at $100,000 secured. The judge decided to lower his bond. Since 2023, North Carolina has had the statewide initiative NC S.A.F.E.  It’s led by the North Carolina Department of Public Safety to address the increase in firearm-related deaths in the state. Deputy Secretary for Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention William Lassiter is leading that initiative. He says securing guns in homes with children is crucial. “Over the last six years, we've seen over 600 kids die by firearms,” Lassiter said. While you’re encouraged to educate your kids about them, keeping the gun out of their sight and reach is key. For parents concerned a traditional gunlock may delay your having access to your firearm in case of an emergency, Lassiter said there are new options that address this concern. “There's a lot of new technology that's out there that makes it very easy to lock up your gun safely and have emergency access to that firearm," Lassiter said. While Helbert’s bond was lowered to $100,000, the judge gave him some conditions. He cannot have any guns or deadly weapons or dwell anywhere that has any firearms. His next court date is Feb. 21.
