Officials said a 12-year-old boy fatally shot an 11-year-old classmate in southern Tennessee.
Franklin County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Chris Guess said Monday that Sienna Dusk Owens of Decherd was shot in the back Saturday in the garage of the boy’s home in Estill Springs.
Guess said investigators are gathering evidence and will present findings to the district attorney, who will decide whether to pursue charges.
He said the boy’s mother was home when the shooting occurred.
Guess said first responders found the girl alive and performed CPR.
