A teenager from Pennsylvania, US, killed his grandma because he didn’t want to go to school, police said.
Hunter Riley Reeser, 14, faces murder charges as an adult for the Tuesday shooting.
State police said the Harborcreek Township teen attacked Sandra Orton as they bickered about an upcoming school meeting.
Reeser shot the 60-year-old in the head because he didn’t want to go, officials claimed.
The boy then called his grandfather and said he found his grandmother bleeding in front of her home.
He called 911 to report the crime, too โ but he later admitted to police that he shot her himself.
Reeser was charged with criminal homicide and first-degree murder. He remains in jail without bond.
In Pennsylvania, children must be charged as adults in murder or homicide cases, though defence attorneys can later try to move the charges to juvenile court. Erie County prosecutors say they plan to oppose that at this point.
