A NINE-YEAR-OLD boy has died after being stabbed repeatedly by a 12-year-old who he was playing with in a playground.
The Grand Rapids Press reports that Michael Connor Verkerke was playing with three other children at the Pinebrook Village mobile home park in Michigan around 6pm (8am AEST) on August 4 when a 12-year-old pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the back.
Verkerke ran back to his home where he collapsed on the front veranda. Paramedics were called but he later died in hospital.
The 12-year-old suspect turned himself in after borrowing a phone belonging to Glen Stacy.
"I just stabbed somebody. Please pick me up," Mr Stacy said the child told police.
He said the child seemed calm as he turned himself in but admitted he had taken pills and wanted his life to be over.
The boy was taken to a local hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and formal charges are pending.
It comes after a five-year-old accidentally shot a three-year-old with a gun in Colorado.
The girl was in critical condition but stable condition Monday after the shooting.
Police say a 9-year-old boy got the handgun from the house and that a 5-year-old got the gun and pointed it at the girl.
The child who shot the 3-year-old will not be charged with a crime. But the mother's boyfriend, who owns the gun, 22-year-old Adrian Chavez, was arrested and faces child abuse charges for leaving the weapon unattended.
Chavez, who was wanted for failing to appear in court in another matter, fled after the shooting but was found later.
Police said the 9-year-old who first took the gun said he learned how to handle the weapon from video games.
Craig Jay said he was painting a house nearby at the time of the shooting when he heard what he thought was a large firecracker. A few minutes later he saw a fire truck arriving and saw a woman run out of the house holding a limp child.
"She was screaming and they told her to take the child back in the house and they all ran in the house," he said.
The shooting comes less than a week after a 5-year-old girl in Idaho died when she was shot by another 5-year-old.
