Teen kills father, opens fire on South Carolina schoolyard
An 15-year-old boy and his 11-year-old sister were found shot dead in a house in Jonesboro, a city of fewer than 5,000 residents about 20 miles south of Atlanta, according to Sergeant Ashanti Marbury of the Clayton County Police Department.
Police received an emergency call at 5am from the house reporting that someone had broken in and that shots had been fired inside the home.
In addition to the two dead children, officers also found several other children as young as 6 in the house, Marbury said.
No adults were home at the time. The parents of the two victims have been notified and are not considered suspects, Marbury said.
