HOLMESVILLE, Ohio (AP) — A sheriff's deputy says a 10-year-old Ohio boy suspected in his mother's shooting death may have argued with her beforehand about whether to carry firewood into the home.
The boy is charged with murder as a juvenile and has entered the equivalent of a not guilty plea.
Chief Deputy Nathan Fritz of the Holmes County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday authorities found one shotgun, three rifles and a gun rack in the boy's bedroom. Fritz says the .22-caliber rifle authorities believe was used in the shooting was found on the bed.
Relatives have told authorities the weapons were a gift from the boy's now-deceased grandfather.
The child's mother was found dead Sunday of a gunshot wound to the head at home in Big Prairie, about midway between Cleveland and Columbus.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
MILLERSBURG, Ohio (AP) — An investigator says two loaded guns were found on the bed of a 10-year-old Ohio boy charged as a juvenile with murder in the shooting death of his mother.
Chief Deputy Nathan Fritz of the Holmes County Sheriff's Office says one weapon was a .22-caliber rifle investigators believe was used to fire the fatal shot. Fritz tells The Daily Record of Wooster (WU'-stur) the other was a 12-gauge shotgun.
The newspaper reports investigators think the guns were given to the child by his now-deceased grandfather.
Mother Deborah McVay was found dead Sunday night of a single gunshot wound to the head at the home in Big Prairie, about midway between Cleveland and Columbus. Her son's attorney on Monday entered the juvenile equivalent of a not guilty plea.

What a sad story.
There are not enough details to understand what really happened and the childs condition now.
Few children of that age fully understand the permenancy of death and to be responsible for the murder of your own mother, if he is in any way normal, is heartbreaking for all involved.
I wonder if there were other children in the family, Where the father is, and whether this kid will live the rest of his life wishing he could take back what may have happened in an instant of immature rage.
If his mother allowed him to have loaded weapons in the house and he demostrated any lack of control over his emotions, Then it is better that it happened to her than some friend of his or someone at school he was angry at.
10 is too young to realize that there are no take backs and death is forever.
Truely a sad story from the information given in the article.
