He later confessed that he was angry at his mom for waking him up 30 minutes early, at 6am instead of 6.30am, and not allowing him to purchase the headset from Amazon. He then got the gun from the lockbox.
He intentionally aimed at his mother before shooting her at their home on 87th Street near Hemlock at around 7am on November 21, according to the complaint.

The boy told his family he hears five imaginary people talking to him, who he said are two sisters, an old woman, and two ‘mean’ men.  
Brianna also said in the complaint that her brother has had ‘rage issues’ all his life and becomes ‘very angry and acts out.’ 
Mann also set up cameras around her home, but the cameras had been unplugged during the shooting, according to WISN. It is unclear who disabled the cameras.
The case likely will bring national scrutiny to bear on Wisconsin laws that treat children and teens accused of serious crimes, potentially as adults.
The state is one of only three that require all 17-year-old defendants be charged as adults.
Wisconsin law also requires children as young as 10 to be charged as adults for certain serious crimes, like first-degree intentional or reckless homicide.
