A 13-year-old boy is locked up at a juvenile detention center after 'purposely' shooting and killing his 11-year-old younger brother.
Streetsboro, Ohio police officers were called to a home on Alden Drive Monday night just after 9:30pm, by a woman who said one of the boys she was babysitting had been shot.
'He’s 11 years old and I don’t know where his brother went. I heard a pop and there’s blood in his chest,' the woman said in the 911 call.

A 13-year-old boy intentionally shot and killed his 11-year-old brother at their home in Streetsboro, Ohio Monday night, cops say
When paramedics arrived on the scene, they found 11-year-old Caleb Lishing suffering from a gunshot wound to the back of his neck, and immediately rushed the boy to hospital where he died.
Police say the boy's older brother, Elijah, is responsible for the shooting, which they said 'appears to be a premeditated' act.
Elijah allegedly got the handgun used in the fatal shooting from his grandfather's house, where it was kept locked up.
When cops arrived on the scene, the 13-year-old boy fled, but they were able to chase him down and take him into custody.
Elijah is currently being held in the Portage County Juvenile Detention Center on suspicion of aggravated murder.

Portage County Prosecutor Victor Vigluicci said Elijah is scheduled to make his first court appearance in Portage County Juvenile Court at 1.30pm on Wednesday.
Police have not released a motive for the crime.
However, it has since been revealed that Elijah's stepmother brought him to police last Thursday for 'being unruly'.
Officers spoke to Elijah, who made comments about wanting to harm himself, so they took him to Coleman Professional Services for evaluation.
The center specializes in helping children and teens with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts, according to its website.
A third sibling reportedly lives at the thome but was not there at the time of the shooting.
Records show a Martin Lishing owns the home.

ShareStreetsboro City Schools officials said the victim was a fifth grader and that grief counselors would be available at Henry Defer Intermediate and Middle School. State testing at those schools was also canceled for Tuesday.
'We ask that you keep the family in your thoughts during this difficult time,' Streetsboro police said in a statement on Monday.
Lt Patricia Wain spoke about the shooting on Tuesday.
'It doesn't happen here. It's traumatizing. A lot of our officers here have kids that age so to have to walk into that and see that and take that call, it's very difficult,' said Wain.
Wain said the department would not be releasing body cam and dash cam footage of the response at this time.
Meanwhile, the family's history run-ins with law enforcement has been revealed by WOIO.
In March 2017, cops found the suspect, then 12, in Twin Lakes, about five miles from his home. He told officers that he had no idea how he got there.
Last May, police were also called to investigate a public indecency incident involving a child from the Lishing family and another student.
The report does not include the name of the child. School personnel said they believed a crime had been committed on the bus between the two students, according to the report. Police reviewed footage of the incident and the parents of both children were informed. The report goes on to say that the district 'took immediate action on their end to prevent any further incidents'.
Cops were called to the Lishing home back in March 2015 as well, when Portage County Jobs and Family Services asked officers to speak with a man and his children about an allegation of abuse.
After running a search of Mr Lishing through their system, they discovered that he had an active protection order stemming from a 2012 domestic violence case involving his ex-wife.
Mr Lishing said that the order was old and he had since won full custody of his kids. Nonetheless, he was taken into custody for violating the order until cops could verify that it was out of date. Eventually Mr Lishing was released and the case dismissed.
Cops investigated the abuse claims but didn't find enough evidence to press charges or take the children out of the home.
