A 12-year-old girl and her father in Parker County are recovering from gunshot wounds following a failed murder plot that authorities said the daughter had been planning for weeks.
Both were flown to a hospital.

Lufkin police charged the juvenile with criminal conspiracy.

"And that would be whether, in the classroom, social media, like Tik Tok and SnapChat, and even gaming platforms."
