The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office has arrested a 10-year-old on a murder charge for allegedly shooting another 10-year-old who died on Saturday.
After responding to a call at 4:30 p.m. local time of a shooting on Saturday, authorities said they found an unresponsive juvenile who was bleeding from his head and neck. Sheriff's deputies performed CPR until the Sacramento Metro Fire Department arrived and the juvenile, who was later determined to be 10 years old, was taken to an area hospital. The child -- a male -- was later pronounced deceased, the sheriff's office said.
He was allegedly shot by another 10-year-old who had gone out to his father's vehicle to retrieve cigarettes, authorities said. The youth took a gun from the vehicle and "bragged that his father had a gun," the sheriff's office said in a post on Facebook.
"He then proceeded to shoot the victim once and ran into a nearby apartment," the post read.
