“‘I knew this would happen,’ she [his grandmother] said. ‘They were too hard on [the boy]. I knew [the boy] did it. He spent the night in my bed cuddling up to me. I had a feeling he did it. If any 8-year-old boy is capable of doing this, it’s [the boy].’”
“In a police interview released last week, the boy said he had been spanked five times the night before the shootings because he did not bring home some papers from school. The boy told a state Child Protective Services worker that his 1,000th spanking would be his last, according to the documents released Wednesday.”
“In an affidavit for a search warrant, Sgt. Lucas Rodriguez writes that the boy tallied the spankings on a piece of paper.”

Heartbreaking, heartbreaking.
How sad!
How sad. Is the boy a bad person, or just repeating behavior he experienced each day? Tough call for some, I suppose.
