NO CHARGES TO BE FILED AGAINST 12-YEAR-OLD WHO FATALLY SHOT FATHER

Ninth District Attorney General Russell Johnson said today that a 12-year-old boy who fatally shot his father in Morgan County earlier this month will not be charged. Morgan County authorities and the TBI were called to a home on Twin Bridge Road in the Deer Lodge community on September 15, 2018. Investigators say that 56-year-old Tommy Durham had been involved in a domestic dispute with his wife when their 12-year-old son intervened with a loaded rifle. According to the district attorney’s office, the boy shot at Durham twice, striking him once in the chest, and Durham died before first responders arrived. After reviewing evidence in the case and speaking with witnesses, officials have decided that the boy will not face any charges in the incident. Morgan County deputies had reportedly been called to the residence at least five times in the past, including as recently as August, for domestic disturbances, but no arrest were ever made.
