Emily ShapiroA 10-year-old has allegedly confessed to fatally shooting a former city councilman and his daughter, according to officials in Louisiana.
Responders found Joe Cornelius Sr., 82, and his daughter, Keisha Miles, 31, dead from multiple gunshot wounds, he said. The 10-year-old, whose gender was not released, was at the house that morning and allegedly shot the victims between 6 and 6:30 a.m., the chief said.Two guns that belonged in the house were found hidden on the property, the chief said, and the shell casings at the scene were of the same caliber of the two guns.
"We still got to put some puzzle pieces together," the chief said. "The city can rest easy knowing that the suspect is off the street of a double homicide, but there's also the shock factor that comes into play: How does a 10-year-old do this? There's a sigh of relief, there's a shock, there's mourning, there's just different emotions our city is running through right now. Only thing we can do right now is do this case the best we can.
