US boy admits shooting: Someone shot dad, renter before I did

An 8-year-old boy accused in the shooting deaths of his father and another man said in a police interview released on Tuesday that he did not fire the first shots at the men but later shot them so they wouldn't suffer.

The boy gives conflicting accounts of the shootings during 1-hour long video of his interview with authorities in St. Johns, but the video ends with him admitting to pulling the trigger. He then buries his head in his jacket.

"I'm going to go to juvie," the boy says after an officer asks what he's thinking.
