An 11-year-old boy shot his 65-year-old father in the head after he hit his mother for not making him food.. The events occurred last Wednesday in the Argentine town of Morón, as reported by the newspaper La Nación.

As this newspaper reports, the man hit his wife after an argument when the food was not ready. The minor then grabbed a gun that was in the house, snapped at the mother “this one won't hit you anymore” and immediately shot his father, who was sleeping.

After the events, it was the mother herself who helped her husband and called the Police. The man was immediately transferred to the Haedo hospital, in Buenos Aires, where he ended up dying without anything being able to be done for his life.

In accordance with Argentine legislation, the minor has been left unimpeachable due to his young age and is reunited with his family.. For the moment, the Juvenile Criminal Responsibility prosecutor has already opened an investigation to clarify all the details of what happened.

Illegal possession of weapons

The first investigations have also confirmed that the gun used by the minor was a weapon that belonged to a family friend and did not have authorization, so in addition to homicide, actions for illegal possession of weapons are also being initiated.

According to La Nación, both the minor and his mother have confirmed that the man was very violent and that it was not the first time he had hit her, but they had never previously reported the situation.
