ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The New Mexico teenager accused of gunning down five family members over the weekend ambushed his father as he returned home from an overnight shift at a rescue mission, then reloaded his rifles and planned to go to a Wal-Mart and randomly shoot people, authorities said Tuesday.

Instead, 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego texted a picture of his dead mother to his 12-year-old girlfriend, then spent much of Saturday with the girl and her family, authorities said. That evening, the teen went to the church where his father had been a pastor, and Griego eventually confessed to killing his parents (Father and Mother) and three younger siblings.

Griego initially told responding officers he had come home Saturday morning after spending time at a friend’s house to discover his family dead, court documents say. The teen later confessed to shooting his mother because he “had anger issues” and was annoyed with her, the records say

The teen had no history of mental illness, and drugs and alcohol didn’t appear to be a factor, Houston said. He did note, however, that the teen liked violent video games, including “Modern Warfare” and “Grand Theft Auto.” Houston did not say whether he believed the games were a factor.

“It’s horrific. What other words do you use? This is certainly the first time that I have been into a crime scene with this much destruction at one home.”
