13-Year-Old Florida Boy Shoots 6-Year-Old Sister In Chest (VIDEO)
If only the 6yo had been armed. Preferably with an AK-47.
Leila Fowlers killing last month shook the quiet community of Valley Springs, southeast of Sacramento, and set off an intense manhunt. Her brother was in the home at the time and told police he saw a man run from the scene. Days later, the boy appeared with his father and stepmother at a vigil for his sister. On Friday, as speculation in the community built that perhaps the boy was involved, his biological mother told Sacramento television station KOVR her son could never hurt his sister. Ive never seen him be mean to her, said Priscilla Rodriquez.
Less than a day later, police delivered the stunning news: The 12-year-old boy had been arrested and will be charged with homicide. For a community still reeling from the killing, the news was another blow. Its bad enough to lose a child. I cant imagine losing a child by one of my own children, Patti Campbell, a longtime area resident and owner of Campbells Country Kitchen, told The Associated Press.
Calaveras County Sheriffs deputies and volunteers stand watch at Jenny Lind Elementary School, after the murder of one its students over the weekend, in Valley Springs, Calif. Authorities on Saturday, May 11, 2013 arrested the 12-year-old brother of an 8-year-old girl who was mysteriously stabbed at her home in a quiet Northern California community last month.
Campbell, a resident of the area for 33 years and the operator of the Valley Springs restaurant for 15 of them, said she had served Leila and her family in her restaurant. Its just shocking. I dont know what else to say, Campbell said. Other residents in the community of about 7,400 people expressed similar feelings of disbelief. I did not want to believe it. You kind of thought so, but its not something you want to believe, resident Tammy Ainsworth told Sacramentos KCRA-TV.
Aaron Plunk, a neighbor of Fowlers, said the arrest was staggering but he could rest easier now. He said he and his family had been extra vigilant about locking windows and doors, even though the street was being closely guarded by deputies. I think we were the safest house in the county, Plunk told the Modesto Bee. Plunks mother, Carla Plunk, said she had been scared enough to arm herself. It the first time I ever held a gun, she said.

A recording released Tuesday indicates a woman called 911 after getting a call about a mystery intruder from the girl's 12-year-old brother, who was arrested Saturday in connection with the killing. The caller, who said she was the girl's mother, said the children, including Leila Fowler, were OK. She was not at home at the time. "My children are at home alone and a man just ran out of our house. My older son was in the bathroom and my daughter started screaming. He came out and a man was in the house," the panicked caller says in the call made April 27. "They said they're OK." She added, "My daughter is freaking out right now."
In fact, Leila Fowler was dying of stab wounds. Her brother told police he scared off an intruder. For two weeks, Calaveras County sheriff's investigators searched door to door for witnesses and evidence. The boy's attorney told The Associated Press that the youngster might have lied about seeing a long-haired man fleeing the scene, but that doesn't make the boy the killer. Attorney Mark Reichel, who met with the boy Tuesday, said his client might have made up a "macho" story about scaring away the intruder because he was scared.
Reichel said he and his law partner Steve Plesser had not yet seen the evidence against their young client, which is in the hands of the Calaveras County district attorney's office, but Tuesday evening Reichel told KTVU-TV that his client has been charged with second degree murder and a special allegation for use of a dangerous weapon The boy is due to appear in juvenile court Wednesday. Reichel had said earlier Tuesday that after visiting with the boy, he and Plesser met with the family and toured the hillside home where the stabbing took place. Reichel declined to say what they spoke about. "They're all doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances, and the circumstances are not good," Reichel said.
Reichel said the boy's story about interrupting a long-haired intruder who fled the home sounds like bravado, not an excuse to cover up a killing. "He's 12. The odds are just as good that he lied and gives a macho story that he chased away the attacker. Someone kills your sister? I'm not sure he didn't stay in the bathroom and cry," Reichel told the AP. The children's father, Barney Fowler, was at a Little League game, and the siblings were home alone. The boy called his father and his fiancee to report that Leila had been attacked, and the couple called 911 and sped to the home.
More 911 caller believed stabbed girl, 8, was alive

Really? How many children are beaten to death with hammers in your state?
I am amazed how desperate people are to not discuss the real world.
How many children need to die each year of a single cause before you think that cause warrants discussion?
