Difficult to answer simply. No, not in a legal sense. Attempted murder is a completely different offence.

What is the legal age for murder?
Murder is an illegal act; despite "common knowledge" that you will not be punished if you are not of adult age, it is likely that you will be tried as an adult.Added: (in the US) All states have set a statutory age, referred to as the "age of reason." In one jurisdiction I am aware of this age is 7 years. Anyone younger than that age cannot be criminally charged with anything. However people that age and older may (theoretically, at least) be charged with any criminal offense. The older the child and the more serious the offense, the more the likliehood that they might be tried as an adult.
