Alexis Sky Pierson, 14, died after being shot Tuesday when another child picked up what was believed to be an unloaded weapon and fired it towards her.
According to the sheriff, a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old who were next door walked over to hang out with the teen girl and her 10-year-old brother. The visitors reportedly brought two guns with them, and all four kids went into the bedroom.
The sheriff said the investigation has determined the shooting “was not intentional.” Nevertheless, the case will be presented to Hancock County Youth Court so it can be determined whether the facts should lead to any charges. “She’s been special since she was little. I can’t really describe what it was about her. It’s like she just shined with love. There was just something about her that you knew that she was special,” said Boswell. “She loved her family. She never hurt anyone, she was always encouraging everyone. She just loved her family so much and has really clung to family since she was little bitty.”
Alexis, also known as Lexi, was a 6th grade student at Hancock Middle School. The school district released a statement Wednesday afternoon expressing their profound sadness.
