On Saturday, pictures surfaced of 12-year-old Emma Brown posing with guns alongside her father at a gun range before shooting him in the stomach and later killing herself in September.
According to the Daily Mail, the Poolville, Texas, girl made a pact with another young girl to kill their families and pets and then run away together to Georgia. Instead, the girl shot her father, Daniel, before later turning the gun on herself. She died in the hospital two days later.
After shooting her father, the girl took off running down the driveway prior to eventually shooting herself in the head. Daniel spent a few days in the hospital but was expected to make a full recovery.
"The 12-year-old female juvenile involved in the shooting incident in northwestern Parker County on Sept. 20, 2022, succumbed to her injuries on Sept. 22, at a local hospital," a spokesman for the Parker County Sheriff's office said at the time.
The second girl was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder, as confirmed by the Parker County District Attorney's office. No additional details were given due to Texas state law protecting the identities of juveniles.
"The second 12-year-old female from Lufkin, who Sheriff's investigators believe was involved with the planning of the shooting, was taken into custody last week and has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder," the spokesman said.
However, the office did confirm the minor was fully prosecuted in the case, which concluded on March 14, 2023. According to the report, the family was unaware of the other girl involved, and it is unknown how they met or why they wanted to kill their families.
At the time communications, director for Lukin, Jessica Pebsworth said, "I will say that this case is definitely a time to remind parents that it's very important to know who your children are friends with." She continued, "whether that's in the classroom, social media apps, Snapchat, TikTok, and then also gaming platforms."
