A 12-year-old girl in Texas allegedly shot both herself and her father on Tuesday night in an alleged murder pact she made with another girl to kill their families and pets, the Parker County Sheriff's Office says.

A twelve-year-old girl in Weatherford, Texas allegedly shot both herself and her father on Tuesday night in an alleged murder pact she made with another girl to kill their families and pets, the Parker County Sheriff's Office said in aOfficers responded to the scene in northwest Parker County, just west of Fort Worth, around 11:30 p.m.

Emergency medical personnel transported the man and girl to local hospitals by ambulance. A representative for the sheriff's office did not immediately respond to an inquiry from NBC News about their current conditions or whether the 12-year-old had been charged.

Putting guns in the hands of children like candy can only have one outcome: TRAGEDY!

Texas: MOAAARRR GUNS FOR EVERYONE

😥

Congratulations to NRA & it's on the payroll GOP Politicians

How horrible. I’m speechless.

Never a good idea to have guns readily available to kids and teenagers without adult supervision. Never. Whatever the gun activists say.

Little girls are making packs like this? Things have changed.

That crazy

'Charity begins at home. 'You reap what you sow,'

She never knew love. Especially the love of Jesus Christ

Funny how people who are against guns are blaming the gun. These girls made a pact to kill, period. Stop talking about guns and let's talk about what pushed someone to even consider committing such a crime.

What are the adults teaching 3rd & 4th graders to make them want to kill everyone around them? The adults in their life is at fault for this behavior & thinking! Someone taught them to hate!

TexasDailyShootings Texas where Guns rule & Texans are Gunned down daily No training No permit No background checks You want a gun, you get a gun In Texas everyone gets a gun including the good, the bad,the mentally-ill, the untrained & Mass Shooters txlege TexasDailyShootings

Greg Abbott's Texas- where anyone can get their hands on a gun. 🤦🏼‍♀️

The joy of guns

The two girls live over 200 miles apart. More to this than meets the eye.

Somebody tell me if she’s white?!

Okay sawa tu

Good glad to hear that

Wow pets? SMH

How hurt must that little girl have been to think this was a good way to proceed?

Lucky she couldn’t reach the kitchen knife or there would have been carnage throughout the whole neighbourhood.

Ban 12 year old girls

OMG

What is going on in texas these days?

If only Texans had easier access to guns.......

DrPanMD Wow dude you got some nerve to talk about Texas you're actually California..

tRUMP Voter Behavior! ☝🏿🧐🇺🇸

This is so sad! And disturbing. a gun is a gun and should be locked up. But a child with a conspiracy with another child to think theses thoughts and follow through is devastating! If it wasn’t a gun, it could’ve been a knife. Anyone that is that disturbed will find a way, sadly!

No surprise at all!

venabme_ Jesus

So sad. Wild Wild West

The dark church cult of the damned.

So, did she get the gun from her responsible gun owning parents? And, is anyone concerned about what may have been going on in these girls lived for them to decide to make this pact? There is a lot unanswered here.

I'm sure the good people of Texas aren't bothered by this. I mean it's only a few lives and he'll, Texas would crumble with out their bravery. Those guns are what makes them brave. Take those away and you have a bunch of uneducated people scared to come outside. Typical TexASS

What the actual fuck is wrong with texas

If only there was a good guy with a gun…this could have been totally prevented.

DrPanMD Haven’t people figured out that the government does not want us to have guns? I wonder why that would be? To contain the few crazies that shoot up schools every year? Or To take away our ability to protect ourselves or others?

Doesn’t happen without a gun 🩸🩸 This is not freedom

SophieHRW hrw KenRoth

This is so sad! What is this world coming to. So heartbroken.

Well, so important that her second amendment rights were protected and she had access to guns.

Senseless death is the legacy of the GOP, the price of their collective love of affair with the NRA, and their collective rejection of science in favor of ingesting bleach and sheep dewormer.

Sad on many levels, but I'm done feeling bad for Texas. Go Beto.

Jesus 💔💔💔

What’s wrong with Society so much hate & cruelty not in touch with realty sad way to ending!

Texas, pffft.

But at least we can all rest easy knowing they still had their second amendment rights 🙏

VOYE STRAIGHT REPUBLICANS

Omg

Where was the help for this family?

America is on its way to becoming a failed state, just like the ones they claimed needed Democracy!! This pact was bourne out of seeing a country with no future!!!

BECAUSE I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.....

JFC, What tf is happening in this world?!! 😬

Close all the military bases and federal offices in Texas, then let them secede

This is why I own a gun safe, in fact it was my fathers. I don't care how well I think I have taught my children firearm safety, I refuse to put it to the test. Children, even the ones who act mature, can make highly irrational decisions and sometimes without forethought.

I mean she could've used rat poison if we're trying to turn this into a gun debate clearly parents need to put guns in a kid proof place like rat poison

Who knows what their parents are, what they do, how they treat their children. No happily, healthy young child just wants to kill their family and pets. Must remember, in raising children, there's Nature and Nurture. A lot of parents nowadays need to focus more on nurturing

What’s happening in the country right now is stressing the kids out, it’s like parents fighting.

Because it’s Texas? Lol. In the Commonwealth of Mass, a young afghani woman committed a triple murder recently (shot three male family members), then killed herself. Of course the story disappeared bec Ds and the corporate media could not exploit it to advance a narrative.

I thought Florida was bad!

Well, America, you’ll have folks getting guns and shooting somebody.

No mention of race anywhere here. Why is when its a white person you write “12-year old girl” but if it’s a black person you write “Black bird watcher” !

Let’s end the mental health epidemic!

Wtf

tedcruz & GregAbbott_TX this their making!! Spend all that money moving migrates to other states but not on the citizens in their state that needs that money the most! Way to fail your constituents!!

So sad and so disturbing. Rather than us worrying about teachers grooming more gay lifestyles, we should focus on teaching our children gun safety and mental health.

Anyone else notice these kids 300 miles apart were conspiring? How’d they do that? Might be a big clue to the problem. 🤔🤔 Keep your kids off social media y’all.

Well, it’s Texas. Sad to say I’m not shocked.

But… what about her pets? Why shoot the pets? How are the pets? You can’t mention them in the headline then ghost them!

Arm your pets.

Crazy how everyone talking about guns on this post and nobody is mentioning the fact that the kids made a pact to kill everything, like what are these kids going through Sheesh

I have no words. It’s the guns.

Wonder if it’s the guns

Wtaf

Nazir_Wada

Only in TexASS

Who loves America land of the daily mass shooting.

Lock up your guns and your kids access to the internet too

🤔

Tragedy that this girl has such easy access to guns…..

😳

Craziness begins at an early age in gun freaks families

Abbott must be proud of his state

i wonder if he got a chance to see how cool the gun that he bought looked as she fired.

Texas, let us know when you’re done with this gun insanity. We’d like a safer America too.

Just another day in the Wild West USA..... those very unregulated militias of 1 are getting younger and younger

This is Texas for you.

This is what happens in society, Texas, when you are lax on gun laws & safety and care more about 2A rights than the constitutional rights of people to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. If only Texans cared. USA Patriot Truth REALITY America GOP MAGA dallasnews

If the father had a gun…

What an incredibly ugly story.

If only Fido had a gun.

guns guns guns sick of it

A 5-day old story posted a dozen times.

.shannonrwatts 12 years old! 🤦🏽‍♀️

USA needs some serious healthcare and mental health care

the pact was with a girl 230 miles away. get kids off the internet.

Just saying, little girls can spin out way too easily these days. But holy shit.

Lizzie used an ax.

I guess that’s what happens with such easy access to guns in Texas

Reminds me of Heavenly Creatures

Jesus

Gun problem? Mental health problem? Obviously both.

Facts. More guns = more deaths.

RepublicansAreTheProblem VoteBlue2022

Okey

Sir what's that .🙄🙄🙄

Crazy....

Where are Cruz, Abbott, DeSantis, and other pro-gun Republicans?

She shot herself and THEN her father?

CNN is being bought by FOX. CNN programming was told togo centralized truth news

Texas Needs NEW Leadership,SAD🤔

This must be something she got on the internet or she suffered from trauma

And they don't need gun control😱

Omg!

If only guns were more accessible this would have been avoided.

To those who think the problem is the gun rather than a 12 year old girl making a pact with another girl to kill their families:

Keep your motherfukin' guns locked up!

I think that's not worth of a news. Shooting is like drinking & eating, essence of life in Texas.

No household with children under the ages of 18 should be able to keep guns in them. It’s madness!

End of times smh

It's the guns folks.

Hey GregAbbott_TX, how's that 'guns for all' policy working out?

what

Pets? Now that's just going too far.

If the pets had guns would this have happened? More guns 🇺🇸

Wtf

LOL

Hopefully the pets are ok.

d Did she pass a background check?
