He is expected to recover, the sheriff’s office said.

The girl is alleged to have plotted with another 12-year-old in Lufkin, roughly 230 miles southeast of Weatherford, to kill their pets and families and flee to Georgia, the sheriff’s office said.

The second girl did not act and was arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit murder, the sheriff’s office said.

Authorities found the Weatherford girl around 11:30 p.m. lying in the street with an apparent gunshot wound. Investigators believe the girl shot her father and fled before she turned the gun on herself, the sheriff's office has said.

Given the movie's rep, it was only a matter of time before a remake appeared on the horizon and today it was announced that production has begun in Bratislava, Slovakia on a new version of The Strangers, which this time around will be a trilogy of films based on Bertino's original movie.

The project stars Riverdale actress Madelaine Petsch, whose character drives cross-country with her longtime boyfriend (Froy Gutierrez) to begin a new life in the Pacific Northwest. When their car breaks down in Venus, Oregon, they're forced to spend the night in a secluded Airbnb, where they are terrorized from dusk till dawn by three masked strangers. From there, the story will expand over three films. Cliffhanger and Deep Blue Sea filmmaker Renny Harlin is directing from a script by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland. Lionsgate will distribute worldwide.

"My mother instilled the love of movies in me through the world of Hitchcock and other masters of suspense and horror," Harlin said in a statement. "My breakthrough to Hollywood happened with the success of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4. It is only fitting that I get to return to my favorite genre with the incredibly well written trilogy of The Strangers. The characters and the storyline are all grounded in reality and offer me an endless tapestry of haunting visuals in bringing these movies alive."

A sequel to Bertino's The Strangers, director Johannes Roberts' The Strangers: Prey at Night, starring Christina Hendricks and Top Gun: Maverick actor Lewis Pullman, was released in 2018.
