Boy aged 11 charged with homicide in Nashville
An 11-year-old Nashville boy faces homicide charges stemming from the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old friend, officials said on Saturday.

The boy told Metro Nashville detectives he was playing with a gun that he had found when the older boy was shot on Thursday, police said.

The shooting on Friday took place on the front porch of the victim's home, they said.

The victim ran to a neighbor’s house for help and was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died, police said.

The younger boy fled the scene of the shooting but was found and apprehended, police said.

He was slated to appear in Juvenile Court on Monday.

Police said he was charged with homicide after consultation with the District Attorney’s Office.

The shooting took place on the front porch of the victim's home, they said. The victim ran to a neighbor’s house for help and was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he died, police said. If the boy was on his own porch, why not go inside there? Where his parents not home? I imagine that is where the other child got the gun. :|
