washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/01/01/teen-fatally-shoots-parents-sister-and-one-friend-just-before-new-year-officials-say

While fireworks were going off left and right nationwide, apparently this NJ teen shot the 4 people in his household DEAD.

But spared himself. Why are they withholding the identity of the alleged shooter, cuz it's a minor? At what point do they say more then??

Good, dont release his name, dont give these psychopaths any fame.

Sad state were in around here

Yeah the brother and grandad had stepped out and were spared. Maybe thats why the shooter didnt off himself, maybe he was waiting for them to fininsh the job.

And I dont understand not releasing his name but they release his parents name so it should be pretty easy to figure out.

Whatever did the parents do to him for him to do that!

Being NJ, Is this kid just another hood rat keeping it real??

His father most likely purchased it, the police already reported it was legally obtained.

Oh, and Long Branch isnt exactly 'da hood'.

meh there is something like 40 gun related deaths a day in America whats a few more.

yawn.....

bring on the second amendment guys to tell us all about how amazing guns are

If only we had to wait for the gun-grabbers to show up to tell us how terrible guns are while offering no actual solutions.

Oh...wait.

@ OP -

Why are they withholding the identity of the alleged shooter, cuz it's a minor?

Why should they name him?

Shhhhh, you go sleep, nice and easy....

Why is it got to be something terrible that caused his rampage. Kids that age can show apoplectic rage over the smallest of things. Take his phone off him, stop him going out to a party, the list is endless. Could be something quite trivial to an adult but a kid meh.

If this happened in UK. Headlines will be like..

16 year old twat attacked his folks and a mate with kitchen knife. Everyone survive the incident and the twat get 90 hours community service. Meanwhile on other news ketie price boobs popped out on morning tv show......


Certain group of americans have serious serious mental issues. Its about time to ban guns.

Hearsay only at this point, but I caught an interview on NJ12 that had a neighbor saying he was on meds.

Wow...

ATS is becoming bereft of humanity and it’s sensibilities are bifurcating from my own...

I once loved the debate on this site which now often immediately dives into a cesspool of trolling...

A kid killed his family...this is tragic...and not political...it’s so unimaginably sad words fail me...

Heart goes out to a family and friend who lost their lives because of a sick mind.
The brother and grandfather need our heartfelt sympathy as well, as their lives have been ruined.
Hard to fathom how a kid could do such a thing. It is incredibly sad.
