A 14-year-old boy has been arrested after allegedly killing his parents and severely injuring his 11-year-old sister at their home in a rural community in Fresno County, California, on Wednesday, authorities say.
The suspect, who is not being identified because of his age, originally called the sheriff’s office after the double slaying and told them someone had broken into their house in Miramonte, attacked his family, and fled in a truck, Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni said during a news conference Friday.
Detectives later noticed inconsistencies in the boy’s story, according to Zanoni.
“Evidence ultimately showed that he had fabricated the story of a break in and was responsible for using multiple weapons to attack his mom, his dad and his sister,” Zanoni said.
Those handgun permits aren’t just a matter of applying and taking a course and then you can have a handgun. As I understand it, they grant them to specific professions, like law enforcement and trapping.
Which means people aren’t able to legally carry pistols around, which means it’s risky to do so, which means that not many do so without a specific intent, which means there’s less random gun crime because someone happened to have a hidden gun in the heat of a moment where they were briefly pissed off.
And those random inspections and storage rules aren’t meant to prevent legal owners from doing any violence. If one decides to do so, there’s not much those rules will do to stop them. But they will make it less likely that some other random person who hasn’t been vetted can get ahold of that gun. Usually there’s some kind of violent intent or intent to service a violent intent when guns are stolen, so making it painful to leave your guns in a position to be easily stolen can make a real difference.
This makes sense. You are able to apply for a license to carry a pistol, however chief firearms officers are denying them, regardless whether you meet criteria or not. The RCMP also will not disclose how many permits for carrying a handgun they issued on a given year. Fun facts.
