Teenager Reportedly Used AR-15 to Kill Five in New Mexico
By Connor Simpson | The Atlantic Wire – 17 hrs ago

A 15-year-old was arrested Sunday for killing a family just outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico Saturday evening using the weapon that's dominated much of the gun control conversation -- the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.

Here's what we know for sure: a family five were found dead in a house in a secluded area just outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico on Saturday night. The bodies included an adult male, and adult female, one juvenile male and two juvenile females . An unidentified 15-year-old was arrested and charged for killing all five people. Several weapons were found inside the house, including a military style assault rifle. Police officials wouldn't disclose any relation between the shooter and the family or any of the identities, either.

Locally, KOB 4 reports the father's name is Greg Griego, a local pastor who works with the fire department, and the shooter's name is Nehemiah Griego. A neighbour told the Associated Press he "has seen a married couple and their two boys and two girls from time to time." KOB also reports police believe the shooter primarily used an AR-15 rifle, the same weapon used by James Holmes in Aurora, Colorado and Adam Lanza in Newtown, Connecticut.

Well according to this article this 15 year old shot and killed his own family

Authorities declined to release details of any conversation that the 15-year-old had with investigators, but they said he was the Griegos' son.

I wonder if we will find out that the kid had known mental problems with the with having guns in the house.

Describe those please.

Isn't it time that the government turned it's attention to the real problem: trying to get people to lose weight ? Honestly, I'll bet it kills more people on an annual basis than assault weapons do.

5 hurt in accidental shootings at 3 U.S. gun shows

MEDINA, Ohio (AP) — Accidental shootings at gun shows in North Carolina, Indiana and Ohio left five people injured Saturday, the same day that thousands of gun advocates gathered peacefully at state capitals around the U.S. to rally against stricter firearm limits.

At the Dixie Gun and Knife Show in Raleigh, a 12-gauge shotgun discharged as its owner unzipped its case for a law enforcement officer to check at a security entrance, injuring three people, state Agriculture Department spokesman Brian Long said

In Indianapolis, police said a 54-year-old man was injured when he inadvertently shot himself while leaving a gun show.

Emory L. Cozee was loading his .45-caliber semi-automatic when he shot himself in the hand as he was leaving the Indy 1500 Gun and Knife show at the state fairgrounds, state police said. Loaded personal weapons aren't allowed inside the show.

And in Ohio, a gun dealer in Medina was checking out a semi-automatic handgun he had bought Saturday when he accidentally pulled the trigger, injuring his friend, police said. The gun's magazine had been removed from the firearm, but one round remained in the chamber, police said.

Thank goodness the kid didn't use a Garrand or a .22.

Imagine the registration problems that would cause.

So a criminal uses an AR - 15 to commit a crime?

I think the moral of this story is... keep the weapons out of the hands of criminals and not law-abiding citizens.

Hardly the flame you intended in your OP.

Lanza did not use an AR-15. All victims shot with a pistol.

Not a random criminal...

He was a family member.


New Mexico homeschooled teen Nehemiah Griego accused of murdering family constantly wore camo: neighbors

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crim...icle-1.1243888

The New Mexico 15-year-old accused of fatally shooting his parents and three innocent siblings constantly wore camouflage gear, neighbors said after the murders rocked the tiny town in the outskirts of Albuquerque.

Nehemiah Griego was homeschooled and wasn’t registered in the local school district, according to KRQE.

A social media profile on the site MeetOne, a website that's similar to Facebook, shows Griego wearing dark military fatigues.

“I’m a fun loving guy who (LIKES) to make (PEOPLE) happy,” the profile reads. “I might be shy but I’ll open up once you get to know me.”

Accidental? Who cares...

Dead is dead.

So then why should anyone think "responsible" gun owners are all we need.
These folks are dangerous to themselves...and me.

Accidental official police shooting that never made the paper:


In a 1994 homicide case in Pensacola, FL, the Police Department seized a well-worn shotgun at the scene of a homicide and stored it in the police evidence locker. The State charged the defendant with premeditated, First Degree Murder.

Prior to trial, when the firearm was taken out of the locker for examination by the crime scene officer, the shotgun fell over and discharged, blowing a hole in the cement block wall narrowly missing the crime scene officer.

Apparently the police failed to clear the firearm at the scene and because of its decrepit state, it was prone to inadvertent discharge.

The defense was that the shotgun accidentally discharged, without intent to kill. The case was resolved by plea to a lesser charge.

I do no believe anyone died in those accidental shootings.

In a similar fashion, do you think more people die in accidental shooting every year or that more lives are saved every year by gun defense?

I already knew they were accidental shootings....

What damn difference does that make?


What it shows is that "supposed" responsible good gun owners are a threat to themselves and others...

No one died this past weekend but that's pure luck...nothing else.

I dunno...you have any numbers besides guessing?

Oh yeah, actual numbers are hard to come by because the NRA fights the collection of gun violence data
