AMERICAN HORROR STORY- 10 Year Old Shoots His Mother In The Head Because She Refused To Buy Him VR Headset

A 10-year-old boy has been charged with murder for shooting his mother in the face at close range while she was doing laundry - because she refused to buy him a virtual reality headset.

The boy is accused of shooting Quiana Mann, 44, from three feet away at their home in Milwaukee.

A day later, he used her Amazon account to buy himself an Oculus VR headset, which costs from $130 to $500, before telling his grandma he was 'sorry' for killing his mother and asking where his Amazon package was.

The child who, according to family members has 'rage issues' and hears imaginary people, has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide and will be tried as an adult.

The boy initially told police that the shooting was an accident. He claimed Mann had walked in front of him while aiming at a wall to 'scare her', and he accidentally shot her in the head, according to criminal charges obtained by the Journal Sentinel.

He later said in a second interview, however, that he intentionally aimed at his mother before shooting her at their home on 87th Street near Hemlock at around 7am on November 21. The boy is one of Mann's four children: Brianna, TJ, Brandon, and Noah. It is unclear which boy shot her.

After the shooting, he put the gun in the closet and told his older sister Brianna Moore, 26, that mother, who worked in behavioral health, was dead, the complaint read. Moore then called 911.

Wisconsin law requires children as young as 10 to be charged as adults for certain serious crimes, though the boy's attorneys can seek to move the case to juvenile court.
