OZARK, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas State Police are investigating the fatal shooting of a teenage girl near Ozark.

Franklin County Sheriff Anthony Boen alleges a 15-year-old boy shot his older sister while she was sleeping. Boen told KHOG-TV the teenager surrendered to authorities about 9:30 a.m. Sunday and is in custody at the Sebastian County Detention Facility. Boen said a .22-caliber rifle was confiscated from the home along with other weapons, but the weapon used in the shooting is still in question.

Authorities said the parents were out of town shopping in Fort Smith.
