11-year-old to stand trial, accused of killing mother over VR headset purchase

The boy was taken into custody for further questioning where he had told police that he aimed the gun at his mother and was going to fire it near her to scare her. But Keller said that the story didn’t make sense.

“He indicated he had closed one of his eyes and believed he closed the wrong eye,” Keller testified, according to. “You have a different perception, depending on which eye is opened or closed with shooting. The reason [his statement] was not consistent with what happened is because, while that is accurate for something far away if I take the distance of intermediate, that’s less of a margin of error. My target is so much closer, it doesn’t move as much.

Keller said the boy had used his mother’s Amazon account to buy a set of virtual reality goggles the day after her death, a device, the detective said, that the mother and son argued about before she died,The boy is now facing a first-degree intentional homicide charge as an adult and has been ordered to trial, as of now. His case could sent to the juvenile justice system.
