A 12-year-old girl is in custody after fatally stabbing her 9-year-old brother near Tulsa, Oklahoma, police say.
A 12-year-old girl was in custody at a juvenile facility after she fatally stabbed her 9-year-old brother, police said.
The stabbing was reported just before midnight on Thursday at a residence in the St. Thomas Square community south of downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tulsa police said in a statement released Friday. "Officers learned the children's parent was upstairs asleep when the 12-year-old daughter woke the parent up and said that she had stabbed her 9-year-old brother," the Tulsa Police Department said.City firefighters and emergency medical technicians from a contract ambulance service administered CPR before the boy was rushed to a hospital, the department said.
It wasn't clear if the child, whose name was being withhold because of her age, has obtained counsel for the case. Tulsa County Public Defenders Juvenile Division did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Under Oklahoma law, she may be held for five work days pending filing of a petition that outlines potential allegations.
