The 14-year-old who is being accused of firing a gun on a MTA bus in Brooklyn will stand trial as an adult, according to New York City prosecutors.

Authorities have charged Kahton Anderson with second-degree murder following the death of Angel Rojas, a 39-year-old passenger on the bus who was on his way home from work to eat dinner with his family.

According to police, Anderson used a .357-Magnum pistol in the shooting, suggesting that the powerful gun led to the teen’s inaccuracy. Police say the teenager was aiming at a rival gang member who stepped on the bus, when he shot Rojas in the head.
