So clearly his mother and grandfather. I wonder if we’ll find out that the kid was abused in some way. It’s not normal for a kid to wanna murder family members.
Where I live, it wouldn’t be normal for a gun to be around…
I dunno. I remember grandparents taking on problem kids the parents couldn’t handle and then the grandparents couldn’t handle them either.
I’m wondering the same. It is possible that he’s just not built right, but highly unlikely.
Or just a kid playing with unsecured firearms. I wouldn’t expect a child to give coherent answers after their parent and grandparent just died in front of them; never mind after accidentally shooting them.
It could be something more, but the weapons were unsecured any how.
Shooting one family member might be an accident, shooting two is almost definitely not.
Without knowing specifics of the incident, I would suggest you not discount the possibility.
people get incredibly stupid when they panic, kids included, and there may not have been an immediate awareness of their family getting injured; and when your panicking and you don’t know how to handle a firearm, it’s not outside the realm of plausible that multiple shots get fired- even when we’re talking about adults.
I’m not saying the kid wasn’t abused. I’m not saying it wasn’t with some intent. I am saying there’s a not insignificant chance that the confession was the result of cops and detectives trained to extract confessions, by using some extremely manipulative methods, from a kid who is almost certainly scared and traumatized. traumatized whether he meant to do it or not.
FTA:
“We still got to put some puzzle pieces together,” the chief told ABC News. “The city can rest easy knowing that the suspect is off the street of a double homicide, but there’s also the shock factor.”
Job done as far as their concerned.
You’re absolutely right on the confession bit. This is also Louisiana, I’m not sure police and legal systems get any more corrupt than theirs, especially if you’re black.
Repeatedly.
Maybe they were lined up
