State Police said the victims were found fatally shot at their
Valencia County home early Saturday morning.
The name of the teenager was being withheld Sunday by The
Associated Press because he’s a juvenile.
Police spokesman Ray Wilson said the suspect was extremely
intoxicated at the scene and was taken to a hospital for
detoxification.
The teen will be booked into a juvenile detention center on four
open counts of murder after being released from the hospital,
according to Wilson, who said the office of the medical examiner
is still trying to identify the victims.
Authorities said the boy called 911 around 3:30 a.m. Saturday
and allegedly told a dispatcher that he had killed his entire
family.
When county deputies arrived at the scene, they said the suspect
walked out of the home with his hands in the air and surrendered
without incident.
Deputies reported finding four people dead inside the home and a
handgun on the kitchen table.
Wilson said the county sheriff’s office handed the case over to
the State Police for investigation of the quadruple homicide.
