Her father, who is a convicted felon, reportedly stayed home so he could drive Timea to her first day of 6th grade.
Timea came home from school on the bus, entered the house and screamed. Timothy Batts, 29, perceived a threat and fired. He shot his daughter in the chest. He then rushed her to the hospital where she died.
Initially, Batts told police that Timea was shot before she arrived home. Later, he admitted what really happened. Police say the shooting was not premeditated and Batts did not intend to harm his daughter.
Batts is charged with reckless homicide, tampering with evidence, providing false info, and illegal possession of a firearm.
