AUTHORITIES SAY A six-year-old New Jersey boy playing with a gun fatally shot his 4-year-old brother in the head.
The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office says the children were at their home in East Orange when the shooting occurred about 11am yesterday.
Chief Assistant Prosecutor Thomas S. Fennelly says the child was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4.26pm. He says the shooting apparently was an accident.
He said the boy’s mother, 22-year-old Itiyanah Spruill, has been arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and a weapons violation. Bail was set at $310,000. He says she was jailed, pending arraignment.
A city spokesperson said the gun belonged to the boy’s mother. It was not immediately known how the six-year-old got the gun.

They can meet in Ennis and have their combined rag week so!
Brilliant. I alway said that what the Atlantic Corridor needs is a framework to enhance collaboration. I’m just amazed that a multi-stakeholder regional cluster hasn’t been envisaged before now.
I am not convinced. I would use the example of silicon valley a region we should emulate. There you have a region with a huge amount of institutions doing their things and competing. No federally driven mergers or amalgamations. Take the example of Caltech, a small but amazingly successful IT. Give the institutions more autonomy and a fixed budget and let them compete.
For a country of 4.5 million people, we sure have an endless number of third level institutions.
First Tipperary Institute merged with LIT now GMIT. Why does this country think centralisation and merging is the answer to everything. It’s a just a ruse for more cuts but the people are too stupid to see it. Same with the abolition of the urban councils. A cash grab on the rich urban councils to save rural Ireland. Name one situation where centralisation/mergers has worked in this country?
have your say
