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.

    Let’s all take some time to show some compassion for their friends and family. What a horrible and tragic moment for everyone that will surely affect them for the rest of their lives.

    There aren’t a lot of details in the story so it’s hard to tell what could have been done. Clearly the boy was disturbed in some way and his decisions led to tragedy.

      Apologies. I confused it with a very similar story. Tragic that isn’t the only example of this.

        Is this the same story? Who is Baldwin? Do you have a link?

        The one that OP posted mentions a different name.

        The father and mother were identified as Lue Yang and Se Vang, both 37.
