Horrific Online Murder-Suicide Pact Between Children Takes Tragic Turn

A 12-year-old girl killed her father and then turned the gun on herself after making a murder pact with an online friend.

A sheriff in northwest Parker County, Texas responded to reports of gunfire heard nearby. What they found was a 12-year-old girl with a gunshot wound to the head lying in the middle of the street.

Inside the home nearby, authorities found an older male later identified as her father. He had been shot in the stomach. Both were airlifted to local hospitals. After an initial investigation, the police believe that the young girl shot her father in an attempt to run away from the home.

The Parker County sheriff released a statement on their Facebook page that reads.

“Parker County Sheriff’s Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is investigating an incident which led to two individuals being hospitalized for gunshot wounds. Parker County Sheriff Russ Authier said the incident occurred Tuesday evening around 11:30 p.m. at a residence in northwest Parker County. Sheriff’s deputies were called to a shooting and located a 12-year-old female lying in the street with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head. The juvenile’s 38-year-old father was located inside the family’s residence with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.”

A handgun was located underneath the girl which prompted police to further investigate who was hurting who in this situation.

The police shared that an entire plan had been put together. She had “planned for several weeks to murder her family and pets and had been in contact with another juvenile female from Lufkin, TX, regarding the murder plot.”

The other person involved was also a young girl who has the same plans for her own family. “The other juvenile female had also planned to murder her father, but did not go through with the plan.”

The girls then had a plan to “run away together to Georgia.” The Lufkin police are running their own investigation regarding the juvenile in their county.

The investigation will be open for some time according to the authorities running it. However, they did share that, “Parker County Sheriff’s investigators have charged the Lufkin juvenile with criminal conspiracy in the planning of the murder plot.”

As for more details that will not be revealed. “Due to the injuries, the age of the juveniles and the sensitive case matter, information released regarding this case will be limited,” said Sheriff Authier.
