Law enforcement officials in Georgia are investigating a 13-year-old boy accused of killing his sister with a gun he made from parts he bought online.
Douglas County Sheriff Tim Pounds said the boy made guns to sell, and when a potential buyer tried to steal a gun from him, the teen fired a shot with one of his homemade guns and fatally struck his 14-year-old sister.
“A 13-year-old kid, doesn’t weigh but about 80 pounds, was able to make a weapon from start to finish,” Pounds explained. “At 13 years old.”
Kyra Scott, the boy’s sister, was shot and died on her way to the hospital.
Kyra’s brother (whose identity is being withheld) and 19-year-old Yusef McArthur El, who was allegedly trying to buy a homemade gun, were both arrested on Monday and charged with Scott’s murder.
El is also being charged with robbery-sudden snatch. Both teens were denied bond Tuesday.
