Who do you think is at fault here?




A 13 y/o boy from Pennsylvania will be tried as an ADULT for 1st degree murder after he shot his 9 y/o BROTHER in the HEAD while playing a game of COP AND ROBBERS gone horribly wrong!!

Brayden Leroy Wright from Waynesboro was denied bail after being charged with first degree criminal homicide and second degree aggravated assault as the 2 were seen to be playing together outside their home at 6am

The teen told officers he went to fetchone of the 2 9mm handguns that his dad kept in the living room COUCH during the game and it appeared Brayden said he became angry when his brother was "not complying with his commands" as he was the officer in the game..

He told police how he then put the gun on his brother's head as he lay on the couch watching Youtube videos and then pulled the trigger

Brayden admitted to police that he knew there was a round in the chamber of the pistol and that he "further related he pressed the muzzle of the gun to the back left side of the victim's head and squeezed the trigger. He related he did this because the victim was not complying with the victim for not listening ot him"

Mark Snyder, the father explained the presence of the unsecured and loaded guns in the house as being for "home protection" where Brayden then put it back in the couch and called 911

By the time parademics arrived, they said the bullet went straight through his skull and was bleeding severely and in cardiac arrest and died in hospital

A Gofundme account has been set up for funeral expenses and LEGAL FEES along with counselling for the children

The boys guardians are NOT facing any charges..as they say this was truly an "accident"

Who do you think is at fault here?

I know when I was 13 I knew what would happen if I took a loaded gun and put it to someone's head and pulled the trigger. Unless the kid is mentally unwell, he should have known better.

And as for the parents, how hard is it to keep the gun out of reach? I mean inside the couch? My brothers and I lived on the couch. An accident is the boy climbing a book case and prying open a gun safe, not storing a loaded gun in the couch where anyone could get it.

The 13 year old definitely is old enough to know what would happen and needs to be put in a mental facility at very least, are you saying you would let him off Scott free and just go after the dad?!

The dad was careless but this teen may have several mental issues that need to be addressed.

The father needs to get hard time for failure to properly secure a firearm, throw the book at his stupid ass.

At 13 years old this boy knew exactly what was going to happen with a loaded gun and even admits so. The fact that his game included putting a gun to someones head as the cop shows a blatant disregard for the life of his younger sibling He needs the book thrown at him to as he was quite aware of his actions and almost seems proud of it.

I feel the loss of his brother and the consequences of his action will be a harsh enough punishment for the older brother.

The father deserves multiple entire books thrown at him for leaving not just a firearm unsecured and attainable, but also leaving it loaded. I'd say it's not fair to the older brother to lose his father but I don't feel its a big stretch to say homes wasn't much of a father figure in the first place

You. 13 is young, but you're exaggerating how young. I know 13 year olds with 9 year old brothers, he absolutely knew they were was doing something extremely wrong. I'm not saying it should be tried as an adult life in prison, but there needs to be a real punishment.

tbh I can't think of a more real punishment than being made to go through your life with the knowledge that you killed your own brother. Giving him a criminal record now will just make his life even harder and may drive him into a life of hardship and/or crime.

Though i guess I'm just a very forgiving person, especially for people that are young and dumb

Seems pretty straight up murder to me.

That said, I'm not sure what should be done with him here. Something needs to be done, but throwing him in prison won't do anything and at that age rehabilitation would have much more use.

He deserves to have a criminal record because he's a murderer. He knew exactly what he was doing. If he was wiling to pull the trigger then I doubt that he cares very much about his brother.

He fucking murdered his kid brother knowing exactly what he was doing, he is not some innocent kid who made a mistake not knowing any better.

Putting a loaded gun to the head of your brother knowing it is loaded and knowing what happens when you pull the trigger is not the actions of someone who should get off easy.

The older brother knew he was killing his little brother and the game seems to just be an excuse to get him in a position so he could kill.

So we should charge him with murder, throw him in prison for 25 years or longer, and then when he's on the other side of 30, release him into the public with no life skills or anything and then he goes on to commit further crimes and potentially murders?

This kid needs help, not prison.

He decided to throw his own life away when he killed his little brother, that should NOT go unanswered for. He did not seem to show remorse or sadness about it either so I have no idea why you think this little psychopath should be given life/job skills as if he committed a less serious crime.

Drug dealers, thieves, even people who held up a store at gun point deserve more of a shot then this 13 year old who killed due to the above not taking a life and the 13 year old seems to not give a shit to boot.

Your too quick to think this 13 year old should be given all those things, if he seemed to have remorse or feel guilt I would be having a different opinion but not with him, if anything he will likely kill again when released from jail.

Im tired of the conceit that everyone can be helped or fixed. This sort of murder indicates a lack of whatever brain chemistry enables empathy and consequence. Theres no chance this kid could ever integrate with society.

If you believe he will kill again when released, then why not give the him the death penalty? Don't waste the time, money and resources required to keep him alive.

I'm not saying he should walk free. I just don't believe prison is the answer here. There probably isn't any perfect answer.

And if he truly is without remorse he needs mental help, not to be thrown away and forgotten.

I'd just rather give the chance of help first and if it becomes apparent that it isn't taking or that he doesn't want to be helped then you can throw him away for life.

If this 13 year old is without remorse no amount of mental help will change him, you cant teach a sociopath empathy, people have tried for decades and yet we have no results other then we need to keep trying.

Call me evil or cruel but some people are beyond help and you put them to the sword so they cant harm anyone else or you lock them away forever if you dont want to take their life.

I can concur with that. If he gets help then you can lock him away for life, preferably somewhere he can't get out of.

But we need to be sure that he's beyond help before concluding "yeah he seems to be beyond help"

Sad to say but if his first victim was his little brother then there is almost no chance he can be helped. Many killers that can be helped have a loved one or close family that still have hope for them that can keep them from falling off the wagon and the killer is receptive to that because they actually care about a family member or a loving partner that can keep their dark urges at bay.

Maybe. But just giving up on them before even trying is why there are so many problems to begin with. People often need help and many just don't want to even try and give it to them.

Will whatever this teenager be given actually help if he's willing to kill his brother over a game and not show remorse? Probably not, but tossing him in jail and then releasing him is just going to add another criminal into society who has no life skills or ability to survive. And what is the point in that?

He straight-up knowingly murdered his brother. He even admitted to it, why do you want him in society to begin with? So he can kill more people? No, that boy is a psychopathic killer. As a teenager you would absolutely know that shooting a gun pointed at someone's head would most likely kill them, and he admitted that he knew as much but didn't care because his brother wasn't "complying with commands", so why would you want such a cold-blooded killer back in society to begin with?
I'm not saying he should be in general society (not for a while at least). He should be placed under psychiatric care. If it's determined he's a lost cause then keep him in a mental hospital or throw him in prison. If it's determined he isn't quite a lost cause (yet) then afford him opportunities, under supervision, to be allowed to participate in society, in limited capacities. If he can't handle that then keep him locked away.

If he was 16 or something then I'd be a lot more receptive to the idea of just throwing him away for life.

The fact he has traits of a sociopath at 13 only makes it more troubling.

I wonder if he has a past of hurting, torturing, or killing animals since that is one of the paths many sociopaths take, they start with small prey and work their way up to bigger game almost like a hunter.
