The law in Pennsylvania is that a child at 10 can be charged with criminal homicide and tried as an adult. The tests will show if the boy's gun was used in the shooting. There will be fingerprints on the gun. The report that he told someone else that he was going to do this shows premeditation and awareness of the consequences of his actions. This kid will probably be tried as an adult and should be. The law is the law. Somone has to pay, and you can't charge the parent with murder. If a 10 year old kid murdered one of my relatives I would want him/her sent away for life. I would not look away and say "oh, but he's just a little boy." A case like this shows that there should be new laws regarding children and access to guns. That will never happen.
