The killings do not sound like an accident, which is the usual situation involving young children and firearms. My younger brother had friends, brothers, one of whom had accidently shot and paralyzed the other, for example. At least once a month I read about a killing where some kid was playing with a gun and another child gets injured.

But this was a child who appears to have deliberately killed two adults, definitely out of the ordinary. The boy is reported as *not* having any known mental or behavioral problems, though it has not been ruled out. So, what’s the motivation?

I wager there is a lot more to this story.
