Overview
- Nation Wood, 25, is charged with involuntary manslaughter after a fatal shooting inside a San Francisco apartment, according to prosecutors.
- Police said they found 22-year-old Samantha Emge with a gunshot wound and that she was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
- Wood entered a not guilty plea as a judge set $300,000 bail with electronic monitoring and the surrender of his passport and any firearms.
- Local reporting, citing unnamed sources, says the gun fired by accident and that a bullet passed through a wall and struck Emge in the bathroom.
- The case has drawn added attention because Wood’s LinkedIn lists part-time White House work from 2023 to 2025, and authorities say the inquiry is active with another hearing set this week.
