A twelve-year-old girl in Weatherford, Texas allegedly shot both herself and her father on Tuesday night in an alleged murder pact she made with another girl to kill their families and pets, the Parker County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post.

Officers responded to the scene in northwest Parker County, just west of Fort Worth, around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, when they allegedly found the girl lying in the street with an apparent gunshot wound to the head and a gun lying underneath her body, according to the sheriff's office. Police allegedly found the girl's father, 38, inside the house with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Police said the shootings were allegedly part of a murder plot the girl made weeks earlier with another girl in Lufkin, Texas, a city about 230 miles southeast of Weatherford. The girls allegedly planned to murder their families and pets and then run away together to Georgia, according to the sheriff's office.

The girl in Lufkin allegedly planned to murder her father but did not go through with it, the Parker County Sheriff's Office said, adding that their investigators have charged her with criminal conspiracy in the planning of the alleged murder plot and that Lufkin Police are also investigating the incident.

2. The problem is Texans put their love of guns (which is really strange) over everything.

5. Thank goodness they had guns in their homes to stay safe

Obviously, more guns would have been better.

6. Wouldn't have happened if there wasn't a gun available to a 12-year-old.

There were two guns in my house growing up. They were for hunting.

I always knew where the guns were.

I NEVER knew where the ammunition was.
