A 12-year-old girl was charged on Dec. 31 by the Nashville, Tennessee Metro Police Department with fatally shooting her 16-year-old friend with a gun they stole together from a parked car.
The girls then began burglarizing cars in a parking lot near her grandmother’s home.
After consultation with the District Attorney, the girl, whose name has not been released due to her age, was charged in Juvenile Court with criminal homicide, according to a tweet by the Nashville Metro Police.
In response to the tweet, James Cothron posted: “This makes at least 2 of these this year. These kids need to be locked up, and taken away from the influence. Making adult decisions, adult consequences. Clayton Gangji now this young person, dead. Such a shame ruined 2 lives.”
The four had apparently been up all night, according to The Tennessean at the time.
Able accidentally pulled the trigger. The bullet pierced Able’s hand and lodged in Gangji’s body.
