The boy won’t face charges. Under Louisiana law, a child under 10 is exempt from criminal responsibility. Before the incident Smothers had been watching TV in the living room while the boy played a video game in which players shoot people. "Although a motive for the shooting is unknown at this time investigators have learned that the juvenile suspect was playing a video game on the Play Station III ‘Grand Theft Auto IV’, a realistic game that has been associated with encouraging violence and awards points to players for killing people, just minutes before the homicide occurred," a release from the sheriff’s office stated.
