Uhh yeah, I searched and didn't come up with anything, and if this topic was made, the mods can close it. Yeah, I don't know if this is allowed, but I was going to make this topic yesterday but didn't have time. It was in the newspaper, and when my uncle told me about this, I was like "Wtf? You're kidding, right?". So yeah, I read the article. Your thoughts?

NEW YORK - A 9-year-old girl fatally stabbed an 11-year-old girl in the chest with a kitchen knife during a fight over a ball, authorities said.

The 9-year-old, whose name wasn’t released, was charged with manslaughter.

Police spokesman Paul Browne told The New York Times that he was “unaware of anyone younger implicated in such an act in New York City.”

The victim, Queen Washington, 11, was pronounced dead at a hospital.

“I don’t understand how this could happen,” Joyce Porter, Queen’s grandmother, told the Times. She said Queen’s mother had called her earlier that afternoon. “She told me, ’Queen is dead,”’ Porter said, adding, “It was over a ball.”

The girls had been playing together at the 9-year-old’s apartment on Monday, but the girl’s mother had stepped out to borrow something from a neighbor, police said.

A spokesman for the Brooklyn district attorney’s office said the case would go to family court because the girl is younger than 14.

In 1999, 12-year-old Lionel Tate became the youngest person in modern U.S. history to be sentenced to life in prison for the killing of 6-year-old Tiffany Eunick in Florida.

He won a new trial on appeal and went free in January 2004 under a deal that placed him under house arrest for a year followed by probation for 10 years. Now 18, he was arrested this month for allegedly holding up a pizza delivery man at gunpoint.

Perhaps the girl didn't realize that when she stabbed her sister she'd be dead forever. It'd be like

...

Hey, wake up. Game's over.

...

MOMMY, SHE'S DEAD!

I feel so bad for Queen's mom... =T And even worse for Queen.
Ugh, this is exactly why parents should keep a TIGHT watch on what kids see on TV. Maybe she wasn't influenced by TV, but there's a big chance that she probably was.
