An 11-year-old boy in Duncannon, Pennsylvania, was recently accused of fatally shooting his own adoptive father inside their residence last month.
The harrowing incident took place at the family home when the father had hidden the child's Nintendo Switch. When he could not find it, he looked everywhere, only to discover a safe that had the licensed gun.

The couple had just celebrated their child's birthday, but little did they know that this would be the last family celebration before the father's death.

After the cops arrived, he admitted to the crime. He told his mother that Daddy is dead, I killed Daddy. Now, he's been denied bail and was charged with criminal homicide as an adult. He remains in custody awaiting further proceedings.
