Etats-Unis : arrêté à l'école pour tentative de meurtre, avec un pistolet et 400 cartouches... à 11 ans !

Un garçon de 11 ans a été arrêté mercredi 23 octobre et présenté à la justice pour tentative de meurtre. Il s'était rendu dans son école avec un pistolet et 400 cartouches de munitions, à Vancouver, dans le nord-ouest des États-Unis. C'est le quatrième incident en moins d'une semaine impliquant des adolescents armés aux Etats-Unis.

Quincy J. Tuttle, 11, brought the gun to school to shoot another 11-year-old student because the other student called his friend “gay,” according to court records.

Tuttle appeared Friday before Juvenile Court Commissioner Jennifer Snider who heard psychologist Shirley Shen testify the boy has some severe mental health issues. She believes he poses a low risk to the community but is concerned because he often wakes up in the middle of the night and walks the streets, reported The Columbian.

The boy was arrested Wednesday at Frontier Middle School in Vancouver, Wash., with a .22-caliber handgun, more than 400 rounds of ammunition and multiple knives.

He said voices told him to shoot another student to prevent him from bullying a friend, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in court.

Tuttle said the other student called his friend “gay.”

“He stated a voice told him killing (the student) was a good idea,” the affidavit says.
