An 11-year-old boy is dead, while a 14-year-old girl is in custody following a shooting Sunday afternoon at a Dallas apartment complex.
Officers who arrived on scene learned that a fight had broken out between two girls, both under the age of 18. Sometime, one of the girls grabbed a gun and shot the other.
Nevertheless, the shot missed and hit a boy who was standing nearby. The girl ran to a nearby compound, where she was later found by apartment staff and police and taken into custody.
She is now charged with murder and is being held at the Henry Wade Juvenile Justice Center.
The boy was rushed to hospital, but did not survive his injuries. A witness reported that his girlfriend had performed CPR on the boy before going to police headquarters to file a report, but police could not confirm this.
Police have not said where the gun came from, nor if all the children lived in the complex.
