Boy, 12, shoots mom’s boyfriend

Columbus, Ohio - A 12-year-old Ohio boy was charged with murder in juvenile court days after telling a 911 dispatcher he shot his mother’s boyfriend because the man threatened him. A complaint alleges that the boy used a .22-caliber revolver to shoot the man behind one ear at a home in central Ohio’s Delaware County. The boy reported the shooting to a dispatcher just after midnight. Then his mother took the phone, saying between screams and sobs that her son intentionally shot her boyfriend twice after the man threatened them with a gun and told them to leave. Jeffrey Reece, 38, died at a hospital. Preliminary results from an autopsy show that Reece died of multiple gunshot wounds to the head.  More
