Delaware, OH: Boy, 12, in Delaware, allegedly killed mom's boyfriend

DELAWARE (AP) -- A 12-year-old central Ohio boy has been charged with murder in juvenile court in the death of his mother's boyfriend, days after telling a 9-1-1 dispatcher he shot the man after being threatened.

A complaint filed Tuesday alleges the boy used a .22-caliber revolver to shoot the man Saturday.

The boy called 9-1-1 and calmly told a dispatcher about the shooting. His mother then took the phone and said between screams and sobs that she and her son had been threatened with a gun.

A judge has ruled to keep the boy in detention.
