Family tragedy with 6-year-old dead and her 12-year-old brother as perpetrator

"You could not write a more tragic script"

An untold family tragedy unfolded in Missouri when a 12-year-old man accidentally shot and killed his 6-year-old sister while his parents were at a Christmas party.

According to Fox 2 television, the 12-year-old found a 9mm revolver in the drawer of his parents' bedroom, took it in his hands and pulled the trigger. Near him was his 6-year-old sister who was hit in the head by a bullet. The girl was taken to a nearby hospital where she died shortly afterwards.

"All the officers at the scene are parents, you can imagine how personal it is to see a child hit by a bullet in the back of his head. We will have consultants for information to make sure that the mental state of our officers is OK. ", Florida Police Chief Timothy Lowery told the television station.

Authorities will investigate the case and send the evidence to prosecutors.

"You could not write a more tragic script, the whole issue is so tragic and terrible, but we must put aside our personal feelings and do what the law stipulates.", added the police chief.
