The news gets crazier by the day. Jordan Brown, 11, shot his father's pregnant girlfriend, Kenzie Marie Houk, in the back of the head while she was lying in bed. He then got on a school bus and went to school. Wow. This kid was downright cruel. He was rightly charged as an adult. Apparently Houk, 26, had problems with the boy before. There seemed to have been some jealousy at play here. Houk's brother-in-law, Jason Kraner reportedly said that the child expressed to his son "he actually told my son that he wanted to do that to her."

The child was charged with criminal homicide and criminal homicide of an unborn child, a police spokesperson said. He was being held in Lawrence County Jail. A preliminary hearing is set for Thursday.

According to media reports, the fifth-grader was picked up from school Friday by Pennsylvania State Police, who found Houk's body after her 4-year-old daughter told tree cutters on the property that she thought her mother was dead.

Equally more disturbing is that the boy had told police there was a suspicious black truck on the property that morning, causing investigators to look into a false lead for about five hours. Right. A black truck. The kid is sick. Really sick.

The weapon allegedly used in this heinous crime was a youth model 20-gauge shotgun, which was found in what police believed was the boy's bedroom. The shotgun, which apparently belonged to Brown, is designed for children and such weapons do not have to be registered.

What is this country coming to? This is the third child charged with killing an adult. Crazy. Really crazy and pathetic at the same time. I know that it was a youth shotgun, but why was it accessible to the child when he wasn't hunting? Sorry, but if this kid is found guilty of shooting this woman in cold blood, he needs to be incarcerated for the rest of his life. Look at his face, it's got mean written all over it.
