SEATTLE — A 17-year-old boy has been charged with murder in the shooting of his girlfriend.
The Seattle Times reported that the teen was charged as an adult Monday with murder and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Court documents say the teen fabricated a drive-by shooting story to blame others for Wednesday’s shooting death of the 17-year-old girl at an apartment complex in Burien.
Documents say a neighbor told sheriff’s detectives he watched through his peephole as the boy played with a handgun and then pulled the trigger near Kaylynn Voegele’s face, instantly killing her.
