ST. JOHNS: An 8-year-old boy is believed to kill his father. The man had consulted a Roman Catholic priest about teaching the boy to use a rifle, the clergyman said Saturday.
The father, Vincent Romero, 29, was from a family of hunters, said the Very Rev. John Paul Sauter of St. Johns Catholic Church.
Police say the boy used a .22-caliber rifle Wednesday to kill his father and another man, Timothy Romans, 39, of San Carlos.
The priest did not say what advice he offered but said Saturday that the boy “was just too young.”
St. Johns Police Chief Roy Melnick said Saturday that police are looking into whether the boy — who faces two counts of premeditated murder — might have been abused.

Really is shocking to hear about news like this, really makes you think twice about how easy it is to get guns in the US!
Wonder what his motifs were though, was he abused and angry at his parents, or did he simply not know better?
