St. Johns Police Chief Roy Melnick says the boy is charged with two counts of premeditated murder after the shootings Wednesday.
Killed were the boy's father, 29-year-old Vincent Romero, and 39-year-old Timothy Romans.
Melnick says police arrived at a home shortly after the shooting and found one victim just outside the front door. The other was found in an upstairs room.
Melnick says the boy initially denied involvement but later confessed.
St. Johns is a community of about 4,000 people more than 150 miles northeast of Phoenix.
