In September 2022, a shocking incident unfolded as a 12-year-old girl from the US gained international attention for shooting her father in the stomach before turning the gun on herself.
Reports indicated that the child fled the house after injuring her father and later took her own life outdoors.
Authorities revealed that this disturbing act of parricide, where one deliberately kills their own parent(s), was part of a detailed plan devised by the girl and her friend.
According to "People Magazine," the duo had allegedly conspired to murder their families and then escape together.
Tragically, the young girl succumbed to her self-inflicted head wound just two days after the incident.
In an unexpected twist, the girl's father survived the attack.
Recent updates in the case shed light on the identities of those involved, identifying the youngster as Emma Brown and her 38-year-old father as Daniel Brown.
"Mail Online" reported that the family resided in Poolville, a town in Texas. Pictures circulating on social media, originally shared by the media outlet, depict the girl and her father posing with assault rifles, capturing widespread attention.
Emma, who grew up in an environment familiar with guns, was reportedly in 7th grade when she plotted to murder her entire family, including their pets, along with another 12-year-old girl from Lufkin, Texas.
However, the details of how they met remains unknown.
Authorities have charged the unidentified second girl with conspiracy to commit murder.
In South Africa, children face greater restrictions on access to firearms due to the Firearms Control Act enacted by Parliament in 2000.
The legislation aims to assist law enforcement and the judiciary in addressing the significant increase in gun-related violence.
