Officials said that all the victims suffered more than one gunshot wound, and several guns were found at the home, one of which was a semiautomatic military style rifle.

SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association) – Police arrested a 15 year old boy for shooting his parents and three of their children who were found dead in a New Mexico home. The shootings happened Saturday night at the home in a rural area southwest of downtown Albuquerque. The victims named as Greg Griego, 51, his wife Sara Griego, 40, and three of their children, a 9-year-old boy, Zephania Griego, and daughters Jael Griego, 5, and Angelina Griego, 2. The arrested boy was identified as Nehemiah Griego.

"Chaplin Griego was a dedicated professional that passionately served his fellow man and the fire-fighters of this community," Fire Chief James Breen said in a statement. "His calming spirit and gentle nature will be greatly missed." The killings come just three days after the US President presented a gun-control package. Obama's package was triggered by last month's school shooting in Connecticut, where a gunman with a legally purchased high-powered rifle left 20 young children and six adults dead.

Officials said that all the victims suffered more than one gunshot wound, and several guns were found at the home, one of which was a semiautomatic military style rifle. "Right now we're to the meticulous points of processing the scene and collecting physical evidence, and this is a vast scene with a lot of physical evidence," one official said. Authorities declined to release details of any conversation that the 15-year-old had with investigators, but they said he was the Griegos' son.
