Mississippi 14-year-old Carly Gregg shot her mom three times in the face and saved three more bullets for her stepdad. She was upset her mom had caught her vaping pot and discovered that Carly had a secret life which included a boyfriend, burner phones, and other forbidden extracurricular activities.  

Security footage in the house shows that the day her mom, a school teacher, found out Carly was rebelling against the house rules, Carly walked into her room, took a gun hidden in the house and turned it on her screaming mother. Witnesses say she then invited another school friend to come and see her mom's corpse and told her to watch while she shot her stepdad who was on his way home after Carly texted him from her mom's phone to return. 

She fired three times when he walked in the door but he was only wounded by one shot in the shoulder. The teen tried to plead insanity when she was charged with the shootings, but the court wasn't buying it and it only took the jury two hours to come back with a verdict.
