11-year-old boy kills grandmother after being told to clean his room: Officials
By BILL HUTCHINSON Nov 5, 2018, 10:03 AM ET
An 11-year-old boy shot and killed his grandmother and took his own life in their Arizona home after he was told to clean his room, authorities said.
The violent incident occurred Saturday evening in Litchfield Park, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix, and was witnessed by the child's grandfather, whose gun was used in the tragedy, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
The shooting occurred about 5 p.m. Saturday after the boy's grandparents told him to clean his room, sheriff's officials said.
The grandfather, whose name was not released, told deputies that the boy was "being stubborn" about cleaning his room after being repeatedly asked to do so throughout the day on Saturday, sheriff's officials told ABC affiliate station KNXV-TV in Phoenix.
