A 9-year-old boy was killed by his 11-year-old brother while struggling over his father's shotgun. The two boys were fighting over a video game.
A-Darrious Finley died after being shot with a 12-gauge shotgun at his home near the Red Banks community in northern Mississippi, Marshall County Sheriff Kenny Dickerson said.
“The younger brother allegedly got mad because he got beat at some video games and got the gun,” Dickerson said.
The father of the two boys claimed the gun was unloaded and stored away in a closet. It is believe that one of the boys knew how to load the gun.
The 9-year-old had fired the gun before with his father’s supervision, and investigators believe he knew how to load it himself.
There is no word yet on what they were arguing about specifically, or what video game they were playing.
