An 11-year-old Tulsa boy shot his grandmother in the back of the head to avoid punishment for getting in trouble in school. Annie Mougell-Walker, said that her grandson got in trouble at school and she intended to discuss it with him after getting home from work. Before she could do so, he retrieved a loaded .22 caliber gun from her bedroom.
She recalls seeing a big flash and hearing the gunshot as she realized her grandson had shot her in the back of the head. Walker was able to call 911, who rushed to the scene and transported her to Saint Francis Hospital.
Walker, 42, originally lied to police saying someone else had shot her. Her grandson also told police that someone else committed the crime and sent them scrambling to find the culprit. Walker eventually changed her story and told officials her grandson was behind the trigger. After the interview, her grandson was arrested and charged with shooting with intent to kill. Officer Jillian Roberson told reporters that the shooting was connected to some sort of progress report. Police have not released details on whether they will charge him as an adult.
Walker returned home later in the day wearing a neck brace and the bullet still lodged in her skull. Doctors were unable to remove the bullet but she said the doctors believe the metal piece will come out by itself.
