He shot and killed a woman who was arguing with her mother, so a ten-year-old girl was arrested in Florida on second-degree murder charges .

The child, the Orlando police said, was entrusted to a juvenile justice center, while the mother is already in a cell for negligent manslaughter .

During the quarrel, in fact, the woman gave her daughter the handbag in which she kept her gun: the little girl took it, held it and fired two fatal shots for the victim.

According to the police reconstruction, the woman was arguing with the victim, 41-year-old Lashun Rodgers, outside an apartment complex along Orlando's Memorial Day. During the quarrel, he gave his daughter her bag : from there the girl drew her gun and shot twice.

Nothing to do for the 41-year-old, who was rescued but died in hospital. It is not the first episode in which children are involved: a few hours earlier, also in Florida, a two-year-old boy involuntarily killed his father while playing with the gun left unattended by the latter.
