I don't know if it's possible to rehabilitate her, but if it is, it might be more likely with her being incarcerated than with the POS adults in her world. At least one of them knew of the thoughts in her head (or put them there?) and prompted the murder.
UPDATE: There have now been 5 arrests made in the case. Yesterday there were three people charged -- the 14 year-old shooter, the 25 year-old uncle, the 17 year-old boy who dumped the murder weapon. Today, a 34 year-old man and a 32 year-old woman were charged as well.
Turns out, the murder weapon wasn't stolen after all. The man to whom the gun was registered, 34 year-old Robert James, illegally sold it to someone else in November (I don't know who) and lied about it being stolen. He's been arrested for that crime.
Also arrested, 32 year-old Vandetta Redwood. She was there when the confrontation went down (don't know why or her relationship to the parties yet); she failed to help or call police. She lied to police and said that she wasn't there. She's been charged with felony mob action and felony obstruction of justice.
The 14 year-old shooter shot Endia four times in the back. Four effin' times. Her adult uncle accompanied her to the confrontation, gave her the gun, apparently unjammed it for her, and watched her kill another little girl over a boy. An adult woman was there and did nothing to try to diffuse the situation and left the scene without helping Endia or calling police. Unbelievable.
IMO, the shooter is responsible for her own actions. Still, it's tragic and maddening that she was encouraged and enabled to murder by at least one adult family member.
