Detectives soon pieced together what happened. First responders 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: arrived shortly before one pm on Saturday and found McIntosh 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: unconscious but still breathing, with a gunshot wound to the 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: back of the head. She was taken to Cheyenne Regional 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: Medical Center and then life flighted to UC Health in 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: Fort Collins, Colorado, where she died later that day. Leon 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: admitted he had stolen the tablet from a client of 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: McIntosh's house cleaning business, and that he argued with his 18 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: parents over the incident. McIntosh allegedly call him v Tosh 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: allegedly called him retarded and a thief, which made him angry. 20 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: The boy's father said it wasn't the first time they'd 21 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: had issues with him stealing devices. At about eleven thirty 22 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: am on Saturday, the father said he went to the 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: home's basement to play video games. Leon was supposed to 24 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: be finishing his homework. A few minutes later, the father 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: heard a pop, but thought it was a balloon because 26 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: he was wearing headphones. He later went upstairs and saw 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: Leone standing on the landing. When he asked what happened, 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: Leone said, I don't know, it just went off. The 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: father ran downstairs for his phone to call nine one one, 30 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: and then returned upstairs to help McIntosh. He said he 31 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: recognized her gun lying near her and was confused since 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: the gun usually stays in her car. Later, Leon admitted 33 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: he had stolen the gun when he had previously thought 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: about killing his mother. He said he thought about it frequently, 35 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: especially when she told him to do something he didn't 36 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: want to do. The father told deputies that Leon knows 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: how to handle guns, and specifically knows not to point 38 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: a firearm at someone unless he plans to shoot and 39 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: kill them. The father was reluctant to say what he 40 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: thought had happened. Quote, I don't want to think what 41 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: I think happened. I don't even want to put it 42 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: into words, and I don't want to think that because 43 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: it's a really up thing for a parent to think. 44 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: He said that McIntosh had received mental health care from 45 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: a therapist and had medication, but he said he did 46 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: not know of any recent suicidal thoughts. Eventually, Leone told 47 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: investigators that he had been arguing with McIntosh over the 48 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: stolen tablet, and that she had demanded the tablet's password, 49 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: which was written in a notebook that he retrieved from 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: a closet, and also retrieved the handgun he'd stolen from 51 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: his mother's car. Then he threw the notebook into the room. 52 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: When McIntosh bent down to pick it up, he shot 53 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: her in the head. He initially told deputies that his 54 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: mother handed him the handgun, but later admitted he had 55 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: stolen it and had hidden it in his closet. He 56 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: told investigators that he hated his mother and couldn't tell 57 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: her how much he hated her because she doesn't understand him, 58 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: apparently thinking there was some justification for stealing items frequently 59 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: for murdering his mother. Leona's being held on a five 60 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars bond.

Deputies found a school 66 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: nurse administering CPR to the girl. Deputies determined she appeared 67 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: to be suffering from an overdose and gave her a 68 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: dose of Narcan, which yielded positive results. Investigators determined the 69 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: drug was fentanyl and soon learned the girl's father, Joshua Sanders, forty, 70 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: had a small container of fentanyl in the home, which 71 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: the child had brought to school. The girl's mother, Courtney Delaney, 72 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: thirty four, told investigators she had argued with Sanders about 73 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: the drug in the house on numerous occasions. The Sheriff's 74 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: office said their investigation revealed that the child had found 75 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: the container on the bathroom sink in their rectis and 76 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: placed it into her backpack before heading to school. Once 77 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: at school, the girl went to the bathroom and placed 78 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: a small amount of the fentanyl powder on her finger 79 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: and swallowed it. An affidavit, however, said that the girl 80 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: snorted the powder off the toilet paper holder and walked 81 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: out of the bathroom with a white powder on her nose. 82 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: She also allegedly told a first responder she had seen 83 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: her father doing drugs and was curious about it. The 84 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: Sheriff's office said the effects were near immediate, with the 85 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: student barely returning to class before losing consciousness. According to 86 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: the affidavit, Delaney had thrown away bottles of Sanders drugs 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: on multiple occasions, but had made no effort to remove 88 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: him from the home despite his repeated use of drugs. 89 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: The girl told a deputy she didn't remember anything until 90 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: she awoke inside an ambulance. Her parents were charged with 91 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: one count of neglect of a child with great bodily 92 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: harm and two counts of neglect of a child without 93 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: great bodily harm. Those charges in connection with other children 94 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: in the home.
