A 14-year-old boy in Elkmont, Alabama on Monday shot and killed all five members of his family before calling police to confess the crime.
Three of the victims were found dead in their house in Elkmont while two succumbed to gunshot wounds after being airlifted to a local hospital.
“The 14-year-old caller was interviewed and confessed to shooting all five members of his family in the residence,” Limestone County sheriff said on Twitter.
“He is currently assisting investigators in locating the weapon, a 9mm handgun that he said he tossed nearby.”
The boy was taken into custody, and there was no word from authorities on a possible motive for the killings.
Statistics compiled by an advocacy group, Giffords Law Center show that over 36,000 people die from gun violence in the US annually, with at least a third of these cases being homicides.

Wow,soo sad. A rush to judgement is wrong especially without facts behind this act. The boy certainly needs help. @mkenyahalisi, you should know that the USA has a population of more than 540 mil compared to just 46-50 mil in Kenya. You claim to be smarter than your peponi educated mrs. so do the math?

Karma is real & choices have consequences.
You don’t wage wars, cause chaos around the world, wanton death & destruction & fail to reap from your actions. The USA has throughout history caused unnecessary untold suffering in places like Vietnam (napalm anyone?, torture…), Iraq, Yemen, Libya & many other places. The country remains powerful and able and cannot be taken down by any other country but karma doesn’t know shit! Gun violence/ deaths in the US is now higher than in the entire Middle East in spite of the chaos there! It’s really ironical – highest material progress / wealth of any country yet too much strife? What kind of a blessing is this?

At Owino it’s all about the ratio which is approximately 1:10. So even if we multiply Kenya’s number by 10, it brings us to about 1200 which is no where near 36000. But those people will simply be replaced by immigrants na inchi bado inaendelea.
@mkenya halisi… pokea salamu.
