Shirk appeared in court virtually, and his wife arrived with their children, and both became visibly upset and started crying when they saw each other.

At one point, Shirk even shouted “no” as the murder charge was read.

Deputies say the child was rushed to a hospital Monday evening from the Walthall Street area in Elliston just after 4 p.m. with traumatic injuries and died.

That investigation led to the arrest of Shirk, who faces charges including felony homicide, three counts of child abuse and neglect, three counts of child endangerment, and charges related to allowing children access to a firearm.
