Parker County Sheriff's Office investigators allege that a 12-year-old Texas girl shot her father and then herself in a murder pact she made with a friend.
The sheriff's office posted about the ongoing investigation on Facebook on Thursday afternoon, accusing the young girl from Weatherford, Texas, of shooting herself and her father.
Around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, authorities found the 12-year-old girl lying in the street near her home. She had an apparent gunshot wound to her head, and authorities discovered a handgun underneath her. Her father, 38, was discovered inside their home, suffering from a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
Officers said they believed the girl shot her father inside the home, fled the scene, and then shot herself in the street.
The child and her father were taken to local hospitals by air ambulance. The sheriff's office has not commented on the girl's or her father's condition or whether any charges have been made against the child.
The girl from Lufkin was accused of plotting to murder her family; however, she did not go through with the pact. At this time, she has been charged with criminal conspiracy by the Parker County Sheriff's Office. Lufkin police are also investigating the situation.
Since the suspects are children, their names and the name of the wounded father will not be released to protect the children's identities.
Parker County Sheriff Russ Authier said, "Due to the injuries, the age of the juveniles and the sensitive case matter, information released regarding this case will be limited."
The Lufkin Police Department made a statement on Facebook regarding the incident.
"We would like to take a moment to remind parents that it is so important to know who their children's friends are - whether at school, on social media, and even online gaming platforms," stated the post.
As soon as she doesn’t show up for school everybody knows who it is..................
THey probably know anyway.
Yes, neighbors and all..........
This is representative of a culture that teaches girls in particular to hate men, their fathers, and the “patriarchy”.
More ignorant internet stupidity for the drug addicted far left to blame on the NRA.
demonic.
This is why people need Jesus in their lives.
The progressive vision of America.
She was just trying to be a strong independent young woman who don’t need no man.
That’s because some men ruin it for others. My son goes to middle school and is friends with a girl whose father sexually abused her for years. We had no idea and makes me sick to think of all those times in elementary school where I saw that man.
That would help a lot a lot...
She probably wanted to transition to a boy...or a cat...or maybe a Gerber Daisy...and dad wouldn’t let her.
the girls were more than just friends and daddo would not approve?
I am speculating.
Don’t you just hate it when a friend doesn’t follow through with a commitment?
I would be far more suspicious about why she wanted to kill her father.
In high school, I helped a friend run away from home to escape her molester father. When he threatened me to reveal her whereabouts, I simply said I would be happy to tell the cops where she is and why she ran away.
This is why people need Jesus in their lives.
Amen......Satan has taken over our children’s lives as well as adults....so sad
