SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This case arises out of the tragic death of the plaintiffs decedent, Gary Jones, who was shot and killed by a man wielding a stolen handgun. In her federal court complaint, the plaintiff claimed that the gun owner’s negligent storage of the weapon and his failure timely to report its theft proximately caused the decedent’s death. The district court rejected these claims and granted summary judgment in favor of the gun owner. Jones v. Secord, No. 10-146, 2011 WL 1557883 (D.N.H. Apr. 26, 2011). The plaintiff appeals. We affirm.
