玛丽当时坐在椅子上看电视，男孩从她脑后开了枪。

The boy was taken into custody at the scene, but later released to his parents, because Louisiana state law prevents children under 10 from being charged with a crime.

事情发生以后，男孩被监护起来，但不久就被他的父母领走，因为根据美国路易斯安那州的立法，不到10岁的未成年人不能指控犯罪。

“You have a child that does not know the impact or the consequences of the act that he has committed,” Sclynski Legier, an attorney, said. “He truly doesn’t understand that.”

本案代理律师Sclynski Legier讲“孩子其实不知道自己的行为会有怎样的结果和影响，因为他根本不理解发生了什么。”

The child initially told investigators that he accidentally shot Smothers while playing with the loaded pistol. But police later determined the elderly woman was targeted.

孩子最开始告诉调查人员他当时在玩手枪，枪击老太太是个意外。然而警方之后认为这不是个意外，他当时开枪的目标就是老太太。

Cops didn’t reveal a motive for the killing, but said that the boy was close to the woman he allegedly shot.“By accounts of relatives of the victim, as well as friends of the family, the victim and the juvenile had a normal, loving relationship,” police officials said.

至于当时男孩开枪的动机，警方还没有明确。但是根据相关调查，男孩和老太太的关系是很亲密的。“根据许多老太太的亲属以朋友提供的线索，老太太身前和男孩的关系正常，也很亲密。”警放透露。
