Teen arrested in Indianapolis mass murder case

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WTHR/NBC News) – Police in Indianapolis say a 17-year-old has been arrested in connection with the mass shooting that left six members of his own family dead.

He reportedly used a rifle to fatally shoot everyone in the home. The deceased are the teen suspect’s 42-year-old father Raymond Childs, his mother Kezzie, 42, a 13-year-old sister Rita and his 18-year-old brother Elijah Childs along with Elijah’s 19-year-old girlfriend Kiara Hawkins and their unborn child referred to as “Baby Boy Hawkins.”
