An 11-year-old boy has been charged with murder after he allegedly shot an eight year old girl in a row about a puppy.

The boy is accused of killing McKayla Dyer near her home after asking to play with her dog.
After she refused he is said to have gone back into his house and fired at her with his father's 12-gauge shotgun .
Speaking to Wate-TV McKayla's mother Latasha said: "She was a precious little girl. She was a mummy's girl.
"No matter how bad of a mood you were in she could always make you smile. I want her back in my arms."
Both children were White Pine Elementary students according to Sheriff McCoig.
Ms Dyer added: “When we first moved to White Pine, the little boy was bullying McKayla.
"He was making fun of her, calling her names just being mean to her, I had to go the principal about him and he quit for a while and then all of a sudden yesterday he shot her.”
