Incident
Aftermath
References
The incident began when 6-year-old Dedrick Owens found a
Davis Industries
P-32 .32-caliber
handgun
in his uncle's home, and brought the firearm, along with a
knife
, to Buell Elementary School. Further in the day, during a change of classes, Owens fatally shot 6-year-old Kayla Rolland in the presence of a teacher and 22 students while they were moving up a floor on the stairs, saying to her: "I don't like you", before pulling the trigger. The bullets entered her right arm and traveled through a vital
artery
. At 10:29 a.m.
EST
, Rolland was pronounced dead at
Hurley Medical Center
while in
cardiac arrest
.
Owens then threw the handgun into a trashbasket and fled to a nearby restroom. He was found there, in the corner, by a teacher and was taken into police custody soon after. He was held in custody until the
Genesee County
Family Independence Agency
could determine his placement. He and his two younger siblings have since been placed with an aunt.
At six years of age, Kayla Rolland was believed to be the youngest
school shooting
victim in U.S. history until the
Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting
in 2012. Dedrick Owens is the youngest school shooter. Due to Owens' age (born on May 5, 1993) and the legal claim that at that age he would lack the ability to form intent, he was not charged with the
murder
. In most U.S. states, six-year-olds are not liable for crimes they commit. Genesee County Prosecutor Arthur Busch called on the citizens to collectively hug the boy presumably out of pity and sympathy. In an 1893 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that "children under the age of 7 years could not be guilty of felony, or punished for any capital offense, for within that age the child is conclusively presumed incapable of committing a crime." This is followed in many U.S. states.
Jamelle James, who owned the .32-caliber semiautomatic pistol, eventually pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter and spent two years and five months in prison before he was released on probation. The other adults involved would be in and out of court systems in the years to follow.
Buell Elementary closed in 2002 due to dwindling enrollment and stressed finances. It was heavily damaged by
arson
in 2005, and was demolished in 2009.
