ELKMONT, Ala. – The Limestone County Sheriff’s Department is confirming that a 14-year-old has confessed to killing five family members in the Elkmont community.

The crimes occurred around 10:30 p.m. Monday, WAFF reported.

Limestone County Sheriff’s Dept. spokesman Stephen Young said that deputies were called to the scene by the 14-year-old in the house. The teen originally said he was downstairs when he heard shooting upstairs.
