KENTWOOD, Mich. -- Two boys were playing on a playground in their Michigan mobile-home park when police say one of the boys took out a knife and stabbed the other one in the back.
The 9-year-old who was stabbed later died of his injuries.
Police are still trying to make sense of the incident.
"It's very difficult to understand. And I think all of us have children have a difficult time understanding how and why this occurs," said Chief Thomas Hillen.
Police have identified the 12-year-old as Jamarion Lawhorn.
He will be charged as an adult.
