LP) Detectives said a 12-year-old boy was shot to death Saturday after he aimed a rifle at his stomach and ordered his younger sister to pull the trigger as another sister watched. County Detective Edward Gordon said the victim was Richard Russel Henry who died enroute to a hospital.

District Attorney John O'Con-nell said he doubted that any charges will be placed against the sister, Joanne, 9. "She is just a child," O'Connell said. "This is a terrible thing. A terrible thing." The shooting occurred in a bedroom of their grandparents' home where Joanne and Nancy, 10, had been playing with a new doll. Gordon gave this version.

The children had just returned from a shopping trip to Greens-burg with their grandmother. Richard was "sulking" because the grandmother failed to buy a wallet after purchasing a doll for the girls. He went to His grandfather's room and got a .22 caliber repeating rifle. He found one shell in the dresser drawer. He then went to his sisters' room, loaded the gun, pointed it at his stomach and ordered Joanne: "Pull the trigger or I'll kill you." The little girl who told detectives she was "afraid not to do what he told me" pulled the trigger.

Richard slumped to the floor, crying: "Call grandmother right away." Gordon said the' parents of the children had been estranged six years. The mother, Mrs. Mary Ruth Henry, arrived here Sunday from Baltimore where she is employed in a shoe factory.
