Jordan Brown was charged as an adult Friday, after Lawrence County authorities say he used his own 20-gauge shotgun to kill his father's pregnant girlfriend while she was in bed asleep. Brown's attorney will file the motion at a hearing Monday and also ask the judge to let his father post bail. The jail warden says he will also ask the judge to move brown to a facility that would accommodate the boy. Pennsylvania law allows prosecutors to charge children as young as 10 with criminal homicides. Police say Brown killed 26-year-old Kenzie Houk, then got on a school bus with Houk's seven-year-old daughter. Police say her four-year-old daughter told some tree trimmers outside that she thought her mother was dead. Police picked up Brown from school Friday morning.
