WAMPUM, Pa. (AP) - A western Pennsylvania boy has been charged
in the shotgun death of his father's pregnant girlfriend.
Lawrence County District Attorney John Bongivengo
(bahn-jih-VEHN'-goh) says 11-year-old Jordan Brown has been charged
as an adult in the shooting death of Kenzie Marie Houk, who was
eight months pregnant. He's also charged with criminal homicide of
an unborn child.
Brown is the son of Houk's live-in boyfriend.
Police said Houk's four-year-old daughter found her mother's
body yesterday morning in a bedroom of their home in a wooded area
in the community of Wampum, about 35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
According to the DA, Houk's other daughter, who is seven, later
told police that Brown had killed her mother.
A preliminary hearing is set for Thursday.

Will he get a triel by jury of his peers? Are there more 11 year old adults that live there?

He needs to be tried as an adult… maybe this will send a message to other kids that think killing is the was to solve everything. By the way, where was the gun? should’ve been locked up.We have some ignorant people in this world…
