The 12-year old that made a suicide pact with her friend, shooting her father and then herself, has passed away.
The Texas girl, who police are still not identifying publicly, died on September 22, two days after she shot herself in the head after shooting her father in the abdomen.
The 12-year-old, who police say agreed with the other girl that they’d kill their family members and pets, was found lying in the street outside of the home where police found her wounded dad.
It is believed the girl fled the home after shooting her father, and then, when outside, and turned the gun on herself.
A handgun was found beneath the 12-year-old girl. Police have not said who the weapon’s registered owner is.
A statement from the Parker County Sheriff’s Office confirms that the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office performed an autopsy and ruled the cause and manner of death as a suicide by gunshot wound of head.
The girl’s father has already been released from the hospital. He is expected to fully recover from the attempt on his life.
“The father seems rather shaken and saddened by his daughter’s actions at this time. He is just trying to take the horrific incident in stride,” according to local authorities.
“The second 12-year-old female from Lufkin, who sheriff’s investigators believe was involved with the planning of the shooting, was taken into custody last week and has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder,” the statement notes.
good grief!!
They need to charge her as an adult and punish her as an adult. What is sick, fallen world we live in!
TURN TO JESUS!
The girl passed away. There is a God!!
Got the story wrong, the girl that passed was not from lufkin
That sounds JUST like what Jesus would do. SMH. The reason for treating children differently is they are children. The Bible you claim to believe by using gthe Lords name in vain here even says “when I was a child, I spake as a child and thought as a child….” I scrolled up and saw I was on a republicon site then I realized why all the comments were ignorant and hateful.
Amen to that. They ought to be ashamed of their tongues. May God have mercy in their souls.
Not all of us are Republicans and hateful. Please don’t lump us all together. There are Democrats born without brains. At 12 years old, children do not understand the finality of death. They are looking for a revengeful act for not getting what they want. However now that she is dead, we will never know why she killed him. I would not want to be that father and second guess why she did this for the rest of his life. It is very sad.
Totally disagree that at 12 years old a child does not understand death. Give me a break. I understood perfectly what death was at that age. Something has gone dreadfully wrong with our children that it would even occur to them to do something like this.
I agree certainly that a 12 year old’s brain is not fully developed – that is why they are a chld. But to say that they don’t understand the finality of killing someone or themselves? I don’t buy that. Not understanding the consequences of stealing a candy bar at the store – that I might buy. Shooting/killing someone – NO.
What the hell does it have to do with republicans Karen?
Republicans are far more wise than any democrats I see post from!!! Karen
I ‘spake’ as a child Lily Dear? Who is the ignorant one here?????
1 Corinthians 13:11 as Written “I spake as a child”
Yet you Judge
People are filling in blanks in this story with what they want to imagine happened. We don’t know what the confrontation was like the article does not tell. It only says the woman that killed this guy claims he was trying to run over a cat. Unless I missed something is a family is without their father and a woman is being convicted of murder over a cat that may or may not have been purposely targeted. I didn’t read anything about a physical confrontation either except for the vehicle being used as murder weapon. Point is we don’t know enough to say someone’s family member deserved to be murdered over something this article vaguely goes into detail about
What? Where did you get a woman? She’s 12 and where did a cat come into the story? Did we read the same article?
Sorry comment was meant for different story obviously try to pay better attention next time
