Boy nine, shoots and kills his sister

Boy, nine, shoots and kills his sister, 13, because she wouldn't give him a video game controller as sheriff blames violent TV and computer games for his actions

  • The young boy grabbed a gun when his sister wouldn't give up the controller 
  • She was shot in the head and the bullet entered her brain, authorities said
  • Their mother was in another room feeding other children when it happened
  • The girl was rushed to a children's hospital in Memphis, where she later died
A nine-year-old boy shot and killed his 13-year-old sister after an argument over a video game controller, authorities said.
The boy grabbed a gun when the girl, Dijonae White, would not give up the video game controller when her brother wanted it on Saturday, Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell said.
He said the boy shot the teenager, a student at Tupelo Middle School in Mississippi, in the back of the head and that the bullet entered her brain.

She was rushed to a children's hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where she later died.
Their mother was in another room at the home in Okolona feeding lunch to other children when it happened, Sheriff Cantrell told WTVA.
Authorities said they do not yet know how the firearm used in the shooting had been accessed.
The sheriff added that the circumstances of the shooting are still being investigated.

He added that he isn't sure what consequences the face will face.
'He's just nine. I assume he's seen this on video games or TV,' Sheriff Cantrell told the Clarion Ledger.
'I don't know if he knew exactly what this would do. I can't answer that. I do know it's a tragedy.'

Unless the shooter picked the lock of a gun safe, the owner of the weapon needs to be charged with murder.

There you go NRA add this one to that ever increasing list of kids killed by guns. Of course you will say someone wasn't being a responsible gun owner like you always do.

Violent video games didn't give a 9 year old access to a gun

I'm sure they are very proud of him, 9 years old and already knows how to use a gun. The only person I feel sorry for is his sister.

I do agree with the sheriff. When these violent video games became popular years ago there was much talk of how people would become desensitized to violence. Kids are playing these games at a very young age. We are seeing the results.

You are seeing the results of unfettered an unrestrained gun ownership. This is not about video games
