BREAKING: 12-year-old Texas girl in alleged murder pact with second girl to kill their families

Both victims were immediately transported to local hospitals by air ambulance. The investigators said the girl is believed to have shot her father, fled the scene, and later shot herself. A handgun was located lying underneath the juvenile suspect.

Sheriff’s CID members discovered during their investigation that the young suspect had planned for several weeks to murder her family and pets and had been in contact with another young female from Lufkin, Texas, regarding the murder plot.

The other juvenile female had also planned to murder her father but did not go through with the plan. They had then planned for the Weatherford girl to drive to Lufkin, pick up the second juvenile suspect and run away together to Georgia.

Lufkin Police are also investigating the incident. Parker County Sheriff’s investigators have charged the Lufkin girl with criminal conspiracy in the planning of the murder plot. As the sheriff’s office does not identify juvenile suspects they have not released the adults’ names in order to protect their identities.

Sheriff Authier said the case is in its early stages and is under active investigation. “Due to the injuries, the age of the juveniles, and the sensitive case matter, information released regarding this case will be limited”, he said.
