13-year-old girl pleads guilty to shooting Missouri couple
CLAYTON, Mo. — A 13-year-old girl who shot and critically wounded a couple in their 70s at a suburban St. Louis beauty supply store has pleaded guilty in family court.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the girl will be turned over to the juvenile system for at least three years and will get counseling during that time.
The guilty plea and sentence were announced Tuesday by the St. Louis County NAACP, which had argued that the girl should not be tried as an adult.
