AN 11-year-old boy was last night accused of shooting dead his father's pregnant girlfriend as she slept - and then going to school.
Jordan Brown was charged with the "execution-style" shotgun murders of Kenzie Houk, 26, and her unborn child.
He allegedly shot eight-months-pregnant Kenzie in the head before catching a bus to school with his seven-year-old sister.
He was pulled out of his class and arrested in New Beaver, Pennsylvania, US.
The killing comes days after a nine-year-old boy in Phoenix, US, admitted shooting dead his father and one of his dad's friends.
Brown has not given police any reason for the shooting at the house he shared with his father Christopher, his sister, Kenzie and her four-year-old daughter.
Relatives have said Brown was jealous about the impending birth of Kenzie's baby.
She had been told she was expecting a boy.
Kenzie's brother-in-law Jason Kraner said: "There was an issue with jealousy."
Cops said Brown shot Kenzie in the back of the head with a gun designed for children that did not have to be registered.
Local district attorney John Bongivengo said Brown's sister saw him with the gun.
He added: "She didn't actually witness the shooting.
"She saw him with what she believed to be a shotgun and heard a loud bang."
Brown has been charged as an adult with two counts of murder.
His dad, who is described as "being in a mess", has visited him in jail.
