bad news:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/10/05/11-year-old-charged-with-murdering-8-year-old-after-arguing-about-puppies/

An argument between two children over puppies turned tragic Saturday when an 11-year-old boy killed his 8-year-old neighbor with a shotgun, according to authorities in Jefferson County, Tenn.

The 11-year-old has been charged with first-degree murder in the girl’s death, Jefferson County Sheriff Bud McCoig told The Washington Post. Authorities aren’t releasing the names of either child, but Latasha Dyer told ABC affiliate WATE that her daughter, McKayla, was killed.

“She was a precious little girl,” Dyer said through tears in an on-air interview with WATE. “She was a mommy’s girl. No matter how bad of a mood you were in, she could always make you smile.”

Each of the children had a puppy, the sheriff said. The 11-year-old “wanted to see the 8-year-old’s, and she said no, and then he went and retrieved a gun,” McCoig said.

The boy fired the 12-gauge shotgun from inside of his house, striking the girl as she stood in her yard, according to the sheriff. The gun, which was stored in a closet without locks, belonged to the boy’s father, McCoig said.

at 11 years old, you know right from wrong. The kid knew what he was doing. This is 1st degree premeditated murder.

don't do the crime if you can't do the time. It's as easy as that. this monster gunned down a little girl in cold blood. you're just as bad as he is if you don't want him tried as an adult imho

I literally cannot think of any other rational response to this. How the gently caress can an 11-year-old get access to a loving SHOTGUN? They are:

A) Heavy
B) Have a huge recoil
C) Big

All of which would be deterrent enough without the loving thing being securely locked up, which of course it wasn't.

do guns have to be locked away when not in use in amamrica or can you just literally sleep with a loaded gun under your pillow if you want

this is in a very rural portion of the state. guns are usually kept unlocked for protection. also, children are taught at a young age how to handle firearms. which is why the murderer knew exactly what he was doing.

they don't have to be locked up. I keep my glock 40 loaded with a round in the chamber on my nightstand. i keep the shotgun under the bed and in reach.

there is no legal requirement to secure your weapons so you can literally have them strewn about your home fully loaded, round chambered, no safeties engaged and readily available for easy access to children

just like the founding fathers intended

no, but you can be executed for a crime you committed when you were a "child". Steve Raoch was executed in Texas at age 23 for a murder he committed at age 16
