A 10-year-old boy killed his mum by shooting her because she refused to buy him a virtual reality headset, prosecutors have said. The boy, from Milwaukee, intentionally aimed the weapon at his mum before pulling the trigger.
Charges obtained by the Journal Sentinel show that he initially told police investigating the death that the shooting on November 21 was an accident. He was charged as an adult last week with first-degree reckless homicide after later admitting he intentionally aimed at his mum before shooting her.
Wisconsin law requires children as young as 10 to be charged as adults for certain serious crimes, though the boy's attorneys can seek to move the case to juvenile court. The boy, who family members said has mental health issues, is being held in juvenile detention.
"This is an absolute family tragedy," said Angela Cunningham, one of the boy's attorneys. "I don't think anybody would deny or disagree with that ... The adult system is absolutely ill-equipped to address the needs of a 10-year-old child."
The shooting occurred shortly before 7am on November 21. According to the complaint, the boy initially told officers he got the gun from his mother's bedroom and went to the basement where she was doing laundry.
He said he was twirling the gun around his finger when it went off. The boy was allowed to stay with family, and an initial release from police says the shooting was caused by a child "playing" with a gun.
A day later, concerned relatives called police.
The boy's aunt said that when she picked up the boy, he retrieved a set of house keys that contained a key to the gun's lock box. When his aunt asked about the shooting, the boy said he pointed the gun at his mom, and that she told him to put it down.
