I think the big thing about this was that the kid shot not one person, but two people. Even though he didn't plan it out, there's obviously a serious screw loose whereby he would turn the gun on someone and fire AFTER HE ALREADY shot someone else. He definately should not be tried as an adult because he is too young and his mind is still developing, but nonetheless, you don't just throw this kid in juve for a few years. His being only eight doesn't change the fact that he is quite possibly ill (yes, children can be crazy too). This kid needs tons of psychological help.
