The boy -- who will be charged as an adult -- reportedly ordered himself a VR set on his mom's Amazon account the morning after her death (via toofab)
After the family's concerns, police decided to interview the boy again and he reportedly admitted he aimed the gun at his mother and tried to"scare her" by shooting at a wall, but she walked in front of him.
He also allegedly said he pulled out the gun from a lock box in their home because his mother woke up him a half hour early ... and she wouldn't let him place an order on Amazon. The boy has been charged as an adult with first-degree reckless homicide. FYI: In Wisconsin, children as young as 10 can be charged as adults for serious crimes -- but his lawyer is hoping to move his case to juvenile court. He's being held in a juvenile detention facility, with bail set at $50,000.
"This is an absolute family tragedy," one of the boy's attorneys said in a statement."I don’t think anybody would deny or disagree with that ... The adult system is absolutely ill-equipped to address the needs of a 10-year-old child."
