Police only described the scene as “horrific,” but that’s really all they had to say about the family massacre discovered at a New Mexico home on Saturday night. A teenage boy murdered his parents and his three siblings in the attack just outside Albuquerque.
The boy was arrested and brought to a juvenile detention center after being charged with two counts of murder and three counts of child abuse resulting in death. Police found an AR-15 style assault weapon near the scene, and police suggested the victims had wounds matching the assault rifle.
“It’s a horrible thing,” said neighbor Peter Gomez. “You see all this stuff that happens all over the country, the shootings in schools and theaters, and then it happens right here. It’s sad.”
