A five-year-old boy stabbed his twin sister to death during a fight at their family home near Santa Cruz, California, authorities said.
The brothers had been fighting at their home on Tucker Road in Scotts Valley, just six miles north of Santa Cruz, when one of the boys grabbed a “small kitchen knife,” the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office said.
The stabbing victim was rushed to the hospital, where he died.
The sheriff’s office called Wednesday afternoon’s stabbing “tragic,” and said the twins were just fighting “as siblings sometimes do.”
No charges will be filed in connection with the killing “based on all the circumstances uncovered by our investigators,” police said.

Under California law, criminal intent, age and culpability are factors that must be considered when charging a minor with a crime.
“Based on the current investigation, there is no indication of negligence or criminal activity by any other party,” the sheriff’s office said.
