‘A child who commits first-degree murder cannot be willy-nilly turned loose into society

The 11-year-old boy was inside his Tennessee mobile home, talking with three girls who were standing outside.
The group included 8-year-old McKayla Dyer and her sister, who was also 11, according to court documents. During the conversation that night, Oct. 3, the boy asked the girls to go get their puppies. The girls declined.
The boy left. When he returned, the documents state, he was carrying a BB gun and 12-gauge shotgun.
He “then announced to the girls that he had guns,” according to court documents. “The victim then laughed at [the boy], and stated that she believed they were not real.
“[The boy] then made certain the gun was loaded, cocked the hammer of the gun, and shot the victim just above the heart at a downward trajectory, from a distance of 3-5 feet from inside his window.”
