11 year old boy charged with two counts of murder in the first degree. The victims include the fathers pregnant girlfriend, and the child inside of her. She was 8 months pregnant, and there is no apparent reason for these two deaths at the moment. The boy used his own weapon, a youth model 20-gauge shotgun, designed for the use of children. The body of the pregnant woman was found in her bed the next morning by her 4 year old daughter. The daughter, shortly after, ran outside and alerted some nearby landscapers who called it in to the police. Under Pennsylvania law, anyone over the age of 10 accused of murder or homicide is charged as an adult. If the boy is convicted, he will be looking at a maximum of life in prison with no parole. There is no known history of child abuse, but there is still an ongoing investigation.
