The boy, who was not identified because of his age, was charged with attempted murder. His 15-year-old sister was treated for a gunshot wound to her chest and released from a hospital. The boy said that his sister was getting on his nerves for talking on the phone too long, the sheriff's office said. He said he took his mother's .22-caliber revolver from a locked box in her bedroom. The girl was reading a book when she was shot Monday. When officers arrived, the boy was talking on the phone. "I could understand a temper thing, but this kid had the gun for four or five hours before he went into his sister's bedroom and shot at her twice," said sheriff's Sgt. Wes Gronikowski.
