An 11-year-old boy from Avondale, OH, shot and killed 7-year-old neighbor Earl Robinson on Friday. Police arriving to the scene found Earl's body and took the shooter into custody. Four children and one adult were home at the time of the shooting.
The boy was released shortly later by police due to "severe physical disabilities" and need for medical care. Prosecutor Joe Deters isn't sure if criminal charges will be filed against the boy, gun owner or adult who was present during the shooting.
Sgt. Gary Conner of the Cincinnati Homicide Unit said the boy was "open and frank" and "honest." While police are currently investigating where the boy got the weapon, Conner believes this case is just another example of a "kid playing with a gun."
