Police arrested a man and his 14-year-old son after the teen allegedly shot and killed a 13-year-old girl in northern New Mexico, police said.

The teens, who have not been publicly identified, were in the 14-year-old boy's Questa home on Friday afternoon listening to music with two other juveniles when the shooting happened, officials said. At some point, the 14-year-old boy allegedly took out a pistol, shot the teenage girl and dragged her body outside.

A short time later, William Brown, the 39-year-old father of the teen, returned home, police said. He and the teen refused to come out of the house for about 30 minutes after officers arrived.

Police arrested the teen on a charge of open count of murder in the first degree. They also charged him with two counts of tampering with evidence and two counts of assault on a police officer. Officials did not specify why the teen was charged with assaulting police.

I'm glad to see your post. I never would have hit on that, but it seems to make sense Judi Lynn Aug 2023 #4

The father wasn’t home and a 14 year old most certainly knew he shouldn’t have been
Messing around with it.

Why would you shoot somebody and carry the body outside unless it was to get help?

in a despicable situation, and make the event look unintentional, as in accidental.

I simply assumed he lost his pathetic MAGAt "mind" and slaughtered her in anger.

Thank you.
