Source: Associated Press
GARLAND, Texas (AP) Dallas-area police have charged a 14-year-old with capital murder in a triple killing at a gas station and are warning that the boy is at large, armed and dangerous.
Police in Garland are seeking Abel Elias Acosta and said Wednesday that they have evidence showing he was the gunman who left three teens dead and wounded a fourth at the suburban gas stations convenience store Sunday.
Acosta is the son of Richard Acosta, 33, who turned himself into police Monday and is also charged with capital murder for allegedly acting as a get-away driver in the shooting, police said in a statement. A juvenile court has issued an order to take the younger Acosta into custody, police said, and authorized them to publicly release his name.
Prosecutors will determine whether the teen is charged as a minor or an adult, said Lt. Pedro Barineau.

WTF is wrong with some parents? Some people should never have kids.
Wish all parents had to go to parenting classes for a month pass them all to get a liscence to have a kid.
Psychopaths,
authoritarians and narcissist people should be barred for life because of what they are. Keep them away from having kids or pets.
Anyone who beats thier spouse,no liscence for you bucko.
