An Albuquerque shooting has left five people dead and a teenager charged, with investigators still combing over a home on the outskirts of the New Mexico city for clues as to what happened.
In the Albuquerque shooting, a man, a woman, and three children were found killed in a home near the city. The victims were found on Saturday night at a home on the southwestern edge of the city, said Deputy Aaron Williamson, a spokesman for the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department.
Each victim was shot multiple times, and police found several guns at the home including what they termed a “military-style” rifle. Police said they now are trying to determine who owned several guns that were found inside the home, including the military-style rifle.
The teenager police believe is responsible has been charged with two counts of murder and three counts of child abuse. He will likely be arraigned on Tuesday, police said.
The boy is believed to be about 15 years old, The Associated Press reported. The shooting took place in an unincorporated area that lies about 10 minutes southwest of downtown Albuquerque.
Police said they weren’t sure how the teenager was related to the victims, and Williamson would not say whether the victims were related, CNN reported. He noted that police were still trying to figure out exactly what their relation was.
Police have still not released the identities of the victims of the Albuquerque shooting.
The Albuquerque shooting takes place in a highly charged political climate related to gun crimes. The massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December has placed a stronger focus on crimes committed with guns, especially those with so-called assault rifles.
You must have been thinking of WOLF IN NORTH AMERICA. Way back when the U.S.S. Indianapolis sank and almost 600 survivors were attacked and eaten by sharks ~ see: http://www.ussindianapolis.org/story.htm
The one identified victim is Gregory Griego, who volunteered and worked in a jail drug treatment program called New Path Ministries for 13 years.

“We are New Path Ministries of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We are a nonprofit Christian organization that is dedicated to helping the hard-core drug addict, alcoholic, and those with life-controlling problems.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2980101/posts?page=28#28 The first thread on this topic had a number of predictions. My own prediction was that since this was Albuquerque they’d be Indian or Hispanic ~ and that was thrown up in light of note someone posted that reminded us all that the MSM doesn’t particularly care about black on black crime. This is Albuquerque. The MSM will once again have better things to do than worry about hispanic on hispanic crime ~ or a mixed beating/gun death situation. Jus’ the way it is ~
Absurd. All I ever hear is the AR and M4 style weapons chambered in 5.56mm are ineffective and underpowered.
I’m willing to bet that the perp was on some kind of prescription anti-depressant, but if that turns out to be true look for the government, the AMA and the pharmaceutical industry to bury it.
Was he on SSRI’s? Inquiring minds want to know.
Which has yet to be determined was used in this shooting. And oh, by the way, no rifles were used in the Sandy Hook shootings - little tidbit the media seems to forget to mention when talking about Sandy Hook in relation to "assault rifle" bans.
At least the shooter won’t become famous(infamous) because his name will be withheld since he’s a minor. Well, at least until they decide to try him as an adult. By then people won’t care so much about who he is or why he did it, they’ll just want him convicted and sent away forever.
Any bets he came from a Democrat household? That seems to be the pattern these days.
We don’t let children be children any more, but we also don’t help them to grow up.
Children are never supposed to show anger, aggression, competitiveness, etc. so they are not taught how to deal with any of it. A couple of boys having a scuffle to settle differences or oh my goodness a fist fight is just not allowed and the consequences are serious, even if attacked one is not supposed to defend themselves.
Children are sorted and labeled and those that don’t follow the liberal idea of a child are often given mind altering drugs- for years; then after they are addicted when they reach adult age the drugs are often simply taken away.
If the child does have very real mental issues it is very hard to get real help for their issues, or next to impossible to separate them from society if they are dangerous because that would violate their rights. The same is true of adults with mental issues as well. Again mind altering drugs are handed out as the solution.
Children are raised to receive and not to give, most are not taught adult coping skills, work ethic, morals to guide their professional and personal life.
At a certain point all of this creates a perfect storm in some people and the reaction is totally over the top.
Posting a reply before reading all the comments? Yep, I’m guilty. Apologies to all.
Murdering a child is child abuse? I guess so. But is it murder? I guess not.
Looks to be an “assault musket”, except that it has no bayonet. The things were only good for massed Volley fire, but could be reloaded more quickly than contemporary rifles, which were mostly used for shooting officers on the other side, and the Colonials used more of them than the Regulars, at least early on. Because they had them, and the regulars did not. But you had to shoot and scoot, because they took a long time to reload, you had to pound the bullet down the bore with a rod and mallet. They often did NOT have bayonets. Technology changes.
Turns out it's also available in other formats, including Kindle's mobi. http://www.ebook3000.com/ipad-iphone/Unintended-Consequences---John-Ross_127434.html

This report, from the same source as the original for this thread, says all victims had multiple gunshot wounds.
