11-year-old girl charged with second-degree murder in fatal shooting of 15-year-old brother in Edmond, Oklahoma

An 11-year-old girl has been arrested in the fatal shooting of her 15-year-old brother in Oklahoma, according to ABC7.

The girl’s name has not been released. She was transported to a juvenile facility, where she was booked on a charge of second-degree murder, the Edmond Police Department said.

In a statement, Edmond police said: “We recognize this is a heartbreaking situation for the family involved. Our thoughts are with them as they grieve this tragedy.” Police said they would not release any identifying information about the incident because it involves juveniles.

The girl’s mother was not at the scene of the shooting. According to a Broadcastify recording of Edmond Police and Fire, the mother told investigators that her daughter called her and said someone had shot her son. Police comment on the family’s grief, a call to comfort those who mourn (Psalm 34:18).

The source does not say what has happened to the girl’s case since she was booked, including whether she has entered a plea or appeared in court.
