Boy, 11, shoots father’s pregnant girlfriend in head

A US jail warden said yesterday he would ask a judge to move an 11-year-old boy accused of killing his father’s pregnant girlfriend to a juvenile detention centre.

Jordan Brown, of Wampum, Pennsylvania, has been charged as an adult with using his own 20-gauge shotgun to kill 26-year-old Kenzie Marie Houk, who was eight months pregnant, in the back of the head while she lay in bed on Friday.

The boy has been in the county jail since Saturday.
