(AP) - An eight-year-boy is accused of fatally shooting his father and another man in eastern Arizona. 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.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 The story I read was really vague. Is it for sure he did it completely intentionally? I assume it was, but weirder accidents have happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Happy Medium 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 This kinda reminds me of that shitty movie "Mikey", where this kid kills different families that he lives with. I do remember this trick he used. He lays down on a ball to somehow hide his heartbeat. That sure comes in handy during a massacre when he needs to kill the last, and smartest, person. Anyways...terrible story...

garfieldsnose 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2008 Why did the kid have access to a gun? Bad parenting kills. At first, I thought you said bad parenting skills. And then I re-read it and laughed, thinking you omitted the S on purpose because it says KILLS. Except then I realized you probably never were going to say skills and pretty much meant what you said without a hidden meaning or joke. Go me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Intestine 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 He's obviously going for the psych sentence. "Because I thought he was in pain". Pfft, hopefully they see right through it. Or else he's destined to escape from the psych ward every halloween and wreck havoc! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
