Boy who killed his father will be admitted for treatment

This news is sad, and rather disturbing. A son killing his own father, and another man, by shooting them with a gun in 2008. What’s more surprising about this news is that, the boy was only eight year old then.

This boy from Arizona, now 10-year old, admitted the shooting and accepted responsibility for the killing. He was sentenced last Thursday to “in-patient treatment.” A treatment that could go on several years, under the decision, he is supposed to stay there until age 18.

The CNN update has no report as to why the kid shot his father. Searching for more information on the web, other than the fact that the boy killed his father, there was no explanation given for the shooting.
