A Milwaukee County judge denied the request to lower the bail of a 10-year-old accused of fatally shooting his mother after she wouldn’t buy him a virtual reality headset according to FOX 5 NY. The boy’s attorney requested at the initial court appearance that the bail should be lowered from $50,000 to $100.

“He told us about piggy banks with savings that he had from gifts, from birthday gifts, and scavenging through cushions through the couch that he’s been able to save up,” attorney Angela Cunningham said.

The charges against the 10-year-old stem from a Nov. 21 incident when the boy shot his mother in the face after she would not purchase an Oculus virtual reality headset for him from Amazon. After his mother’s death, the boy allegedly got on his mother’s account and purchased the video game.

After the incident, the boy said he was awakened by his mother at 6 a.m. The boy “first told police that he went to her bedroom and retrieved his mother’s gun. He went to the basement where she was grabbing some laundry. He originally described twirling the gun around on his finger and then it ‘accidentally went off,’” the complaint stated according to the news station.

According to FOX 5 NY:

In an interview with police, the 10-year-old boy “admitted that he was not twirling the gun around when he shot his mom,” the complaint says. The 10-year-old went on to tell police he “admitted that his mother would not allow him to have something from Amazon that he wanted to have. (The 10-year-old) admitted that he retrieved the gun because he was mad at her for waking him up at  6 a.m.,” the complaint says. The complaint goes on to say “he tried to shoot the wall to ‘scare her,’ whereupon he admitted that he shot her in the face.” The boy “admitted to knowing that guns are dangerous and can kill people,” the complaint says.

The boy was charged as an adult last month with alternate counts of first-degree intentional homicide or first-degree reckless homicide.

Wisconsin law requires children as young as 10 to be charged as adults for certain serious crimes, however, the boy’s attorneys can seek to move the case to juvenile court. The boy, who family members said has mental health issues, is currently being held in juvenile detention.
