Dallas - A 7-year-old Dallas boy copying a move he saw in televised pro wrestling killed his 3-year-old brother, police said yesterday. Dallas police said the older boy slammed his little brother to the floor with a running straight-armed punch to the neck in late May.
The manoeuvre is called a "clothesline" or "lariat" in the world of televised wrestling. Police said they considered the death accidental and would not charge the boy.
