A teenage Mississippi girl whose 9-year-old brother allegedly shot her over a video game has died, according to ABC Tupelo affiliate WTVA-TV.
Dijonae White, 13, died at Le Bonheur Childrens Hospital in Tupelo Sunday evening after the boy allegedly shot her in the head during an argument Saturday over the video games controller, Monroe County officials told the station.
Officers responded to the scene around 1 p.m. Saturday and learned that Whites brother had allegedly grabbed a gun and shot his sister in the back of the head after she refused to hand over the controller, according to WTVA.
The childrens mother was in another room preparing lunch when the incident occurred, Monroe County Sheriff Cecil Cantrell told WTVA.

How do people NOT secure their guns in a house with children? And why did this kid think he could shoot his sister in the head?! I am at a loss here. What a senseless tragedy.
