## Resource

An 11-year-old boy is headed to a state mental health facility after being charged in the fatal shooting of a 7-month-old infant in north St. Louis — a case that has shaken the community and raised urgent questions about juvenile justice, mental health access, and gun safety in homes with children. The boy, who was 10 when arrested, allegedly fired a single shot from a handgun stored under a mattress, while a 7-year-old was also present. His case remains in juvenile court under Missouri’s age-based system, with a hearing set for July 27. The infant’s father is also charged, and the focus now turns to treatment and rehabilitation — a heartbreaking reminder of the fragile line between childhood and accountability.
