The 15-year-old was charged with two counts of murder and three counts of child abuse for the Saturday slayings, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department said. In a social media profile, Nehemiah called himself a ‘fun loving guy.’

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 "fairly quiet, not real rowdy that we could tell,” neighbor Jerry Crites told

CBS affiliate KRQE in Albuquerque. “He seemed to be just a normal kid walking up and down the road.”

The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department says Griego used multiple weapons, including a military-type assault rifle, when he allegedly gunned down his family Saturday night in rural South Valley, just outside Albuquerque.

Cops say he shot his pastor dad, Greg Griego, 51; his father's 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.

Pastor Grego shown directly above ... you can find a petition to ban assault weapons to sign in the second article ... presumably petitions to ban home schooling and camo clothing will follow shortly!

People around here practically live in camo.

Should I be concerned?

-—— constantly wore camouflage gear,-——

The lad is just confused. He thought he was one of Richard Trumka’s striking mine workers.

Why is it significatn he was home schooled? Just for the ‘wow’ factor or was it truly an important element?

I was going to say the same thing. “Homeschooled” right in the title as if it is one of the most important elements of the crime. See, those home-schooling wackos are producing homocidal kids. Its playing on prejudice to sell papers, pure and simple.

Is it assault camo?
If so, be very concerned.

Well I just saw my neighbor get into his truck wearing camo and carrying a gun.

I gotta call the FBI, I’ll be back.

If wearing camo and carrying guns means you are a killer, than our entire community would be dead. And I’m not referring to the military community. We live in rural NC.

Wasn’t it mentioned that Adam Lanza’s mother home school him also? They are after our arms and our kids.

Perhaps because dear old Dad went the “Cho cure” route i.e. wacked out exorcisms, to help his mentally ill son instead of taking him to a hospital.

The leftist press’s implication that “guns don’t kill people, homeschooling does” really doesn’t help the anti-Constitutionalists cause though, does it?

Wow, a Leftist’s Trifecta!

Assault Weapons, Christians, and Home Schoolers.

I totally agree with you - from what I’ve read I’ve seen nothing of significance for that to have been included in the headline.

Both this child and Adam Lanza were products of what used to be called a broken home, where the adults can’t keep their pants on

That's not home schooling - that's child abuse.
