Police: Ga. Teen Awakes From Bad Dream, Shoots Sister 10 Times In Head

AUGUSTA, Ga. –– Authorities in Georgia said a 14-year-old boy awoke from a bad dream and shot his stepsister in the head 10 times while she napped on the couch.

Richmond County Sheriff's Lt. Scott Peebles said Eric Lee Phillips Whitehead has been charged with murder. Whitehead is charged as an adult in the Friday afternoon death of 22-year-old Patricia Ann Troglen.

The teen told authorities he considered his stepsister to be his best friend, but he became enraged after he dreamt about an argument with her.

Police say the teen awoke, got a gun from his stepfather's room and shot his stepsister.

Peebles says Whitehead had been in and out of trouble and had been staying at his stepfather's home temporarily.

The sheriff's office didn't know Saturday whether the teen had an attorney

Horrible story, the mind is a very powerful thing, but awaking from a nightmare and placing 10 shots into his sisters head? If he really was 'acting on a dream' one would think after the first shot he would have been like, oh crap. Not buying it.

BLAME THE EVIL GUN

I used to (as in, just a few years ago) wake up thinking there was a spider next to me on the pillow or somewhere on the bed. I would LEAP out of bed from a dead sleep, flip the light on and start looking for the spider. After probably 20-30 seconds, I'd realize there was never a spider- there's no way I even saw a spider because I was asleep. Weird shit, especially since I'm not even scared of spiders.

Anyway, I'm gonna rule this story "plausible, but unlikely."

Only the shooter knows the real story.

Woke up from a dream and shot his stepsister in the head 10 times? Right, sure.

Thank God it wasn't a hicap, that would have been overkill.

I'm waiting for more info to make a more informed decision, but this seems kind of fishy.

This is insanity. Who wakes up from a dream, goes to a different room, finds a gun, goes to another room and empties 10 rds into someone's head because they had a bad dream? F that noise.

I've had some bad dreams that have woken me up and I thought the shit was HTF. After a few seconds I realized everything was ok and I went back to sleep. I don't believe a dream can carry over to real life and make you kill someone. BS.

Shitbag couldn't be executed even if he was in your state....has to be 18 or older according to SCOTUS

You don't walk down the hall, retreive a firearm, then put 10 rounds into someone when you are sleeping.

THIS...

Kid was batshit crazy, yet someone in the house FAILED or negligently allowed access to firearms.

This is one of those cases where the actual owner of the gun has A LOT of explaining to do.

I was wondering which prescriptions he stopped taking.

Regardless, the young man clearly has a lead deficiency.
