ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Shock and disbelief continue to shake the city of Albuquerque in the wake of a horrific shooting that left a well known chaplain, his wife and their three young children dead. Officials say the carnage was at the hands of the 15-year-old son.
Nehemiah Griego, 15 , is behind bars after deputies say he shot and killed his parents and three siblings inside the family home Saturday night. Griego told deputies that at the time of the killings he had been having homicidal and suicidal thoughts along with anger problems and had been upset with his mother.
Investigators say after the killings he told someone at his church that his family was dead. He allegedly offered up several stories before finally confessing to shooting his mother, Sara Griego and young siblings, Jael, Angelina and Zephania. The teen said he waiting for his dad, Greg Griego , to come home from work hours later and then fatally shot him.
On Sunday Sheriff Dan Houston said he wanted more time before sharing out more details on the crime. There will be a press conference held Tuesday at 10 a.m. where more information is expected to be released.
