COLUMBIA, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities in Tennessee say a spat over chewing gum ended with a 14-year-old boy stabbing his twin brother to death.
The sheriff's office in Maury County says the twins were arguing when one grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed his brother in the chest.
The sheriff says the surviving teen, who has not been identified is very remorseful. He is being charged with first-degree murder.
The principal at the boys' middle school says it will be "a hard life lesson" and "a long healing process" for their classmates.
