Albuquerque Teen Kills Five
Including three children
A teenage boy fatally shot two adults and three children inside an Albuquerque home, authorities said Sunday.
The boy was arrested and booked on murder and other charges in connection with the shootings Saturday night, Bernalillo County sheriff's spokesman Aaron Williamson said.
The victims' identities haven't been released, and the boy's motive and connection to the five victims weren't immediately unknown. Williamson said investigators were trying to determine if the victims were related.

When will it be enough, America? We should demand Congress to pass a law against the illegal acquisition and distribution of teenagers.
If a newspaper published a map of every house that had a teenager in it, Roman Polanski might come back to America.
The teen was 15 years old, so he most likely stole the guns.
AP also says he used "semi automatic military style" rifle.
why isn't guns taught at school? We teach them how to talk, and live why not how to defend them selves? Everyone should have a gun upon graduation and be able to defend him self.
