In brief
Police in Edmond, Oklahoma say a girl shot and killed her 15-year-old brother, and the state has said almost nothing since. A child is facing a second-degree murder charge, and Oklahoma law will keep most of what happened out of public view because of her age. Originally reported by Valleynewslive.
A brother shot dead
Edmond police say a 15-year-old boy was fatally shot on Sept. 9. The city sits just north of Oklahoma City.
The suspect is 11
His sibling, an 11-year-old girl, was arrested in connection with the shooting. Two children, one household, one gun.
Arrested before dawn
Officers took her into custody just before 1 a.m. Thursday, days after the shooting itself.
Booked for murder
She was moved to a juvenile detention facility and booked on a second-degree murder charge, according to the Edmond Police Department.
Police speak to the family
The department framed the case less as a crime scene than as a household that lost two children in one night.
“We recognize this is a heartbreaking situation for the family involved.”
The rest stays sealed
The Oklahoma County District Attorney's Office said state law caps what it can release because of the suspect's age. Expect few answers.
What to remember
A child is facing a second-degree murder charge, and Oklahoma law will keep most of what happened out of public view because of her age.
