Police say Logan’s arrest stemmed from the investigation of the fatal shooting before noon Wednesday at a northeast Las Vegas apartment.
Authorities say the boy was with four other children, all believed to be younger than 12, in a bedroom when the gun fired. Police say a toy gun also was found in the room.
