Apparently, the 13-year-old deceased wouldn’t hand over the controller of a video game. The incident happened in Aberdeen in the state of Mississippi, USA.
WCBI-TV reported Sunday that Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell says the girl is dead.
Cantrell told local news outlets that the 9-year-old boy shot his 13-year-old sister in the back of the head. She was rushed to Le Bonheur’s Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, but didn’t survive.
The circumstances of the death raise a lot of question no doubt, the least of which how did the young boy get hold of the gun? Was he going through an anger management issue? Where no adults at home?
No doubt investigators will work to try to unravel the mystery but one thing is certain, no one in the family would come out of this unscathed.
