What Would Make A Teen Kill His Entire Family?
Anthony Tyrone Terrell is charged with the shooting death of his mother, Joy Deleston, and his 4-year-old and 11-year-old sisters. Deleston was a Gwinnett County sheriff's deputy who worked the sex crimes unit.
A junior at Central Gwinnett High School, the 17-year-old was arrested Friday in the murder of his mother and his two sisters. Currently being held without bond, Terrell was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of aggravated assault.A neighbor called police Thursday night when she heard gunshots and a bullet came through the wall of her house. Officers who responded realized the bullet came from the deputy's house at 415 Madison Chase Drive and saw the deputy's marked patrol vehicle in the driveway, said Gwinnett County police spokesman David Schiralli. When they investigated they found the bodies of the deputy and her daughters.
"They knew a deputy lived there, so they knocked at the door to see if everybody was all right," Schiralli said. "There was no answer, but lights were on. They opened the door a little bit to announce themselves. That's when they saw the 11-year-old." [AP]
