Attorney: Girl, 14, killed dad as he slept to stop abuse
Prosecutors haven't determined if they will ask a judge to order the teen tried as an adult. Asked about the abuse allegations, Elkins said he'd only heard about them from the media. The girl shot her 41-year-old father once in the head with his .45-caliber handgun as he slept on a living room couch and her mother sleeping on the floor next to her husband, Friedman said. Two of the teen's siblings, a 20-year-old brother and a 19-year-old sister, were in the home when the shooting occurred, Friedman said.
