A 15-year-old boy has been charged in the shooting deaths of two adults and three children in southwest Albuquerque, N.M., local police said.
The suspect, identified by Bernalillo County police as Nehemiah Griego, has been arrested and placed in a juvenile detention center. He is charged with two counts of murder and three counts of "child abuse resulting in death," according to a police statement.
Bernalillo County sheriff's deputies responded to a private residence in the city's South Valley area around 9:15 p.m. Saturday. The bodies of a man, a woman, two girls and a boy were discovered in the home, each riddled with multiple gunshot wounds, reports said. The identities and ages of the victims have not been released.
"There's no other way to say it, but we have a horrific crime scene we're working, and it'll be intensive, and we'll work hard to do everything that needs to be done," Sheriff Dan Houston told KRQE-TV.
Police found several weapons at the scene of the crime,?including a semi-automatic military-style rifle, according to Bernalillo County sheriff's spokesman Aaron Williamson.
The investigation is ongoing. It is unclear if the five victims were related to the suspect or each other, Williamson said.
