REMEMBER IN 2000 WHEN A 6 YEAR OLD SHOT ANOTHER STUDENT? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-6-year-old-is-accused-of-shooting-someone-at-school-he-isn-t-the-first/ar-AA16dvWk
Two months had passed since the child had shot and killed his first-grade classmate.
Art Busch, the prosecutor, was still grappling with what had happened at Buell Elementary outside Flint, Mich., on Feb. 29, 2000. The boy had approached a girl in his class, then raised a gun and shot her in the chest. Kayla Rolland, who was also 6, died soon after.
Busch understood from the beginning that the boy was too young to be charged with any crime, but he wanted to understand if a child that age could grasp what he had done. So the prosecutor decided to visit the boy at his temporary home, a center for abused and neglected children in Flint. The boy told Busch about his favorite plush toys and said he was excited to meet the Easter Bunny. He said he liked where he was living. The people who worked there read books to him.
The prosecutor left that day, convinced.
