A teen who was arrested and released in the fatal shooting of his father in Oklahoma last year now faces charges in the killing of his mother in Florida, authorities said Wednesday. The 17-year-old was arrested on suspicion of fatally stabbing his mother at his grandmother’s home on Sept. 8 in Auburndale, northeast of Tampa, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters. The teen faces charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and violation of a no-contact order, the sheriff’s office said.
The grandmother was not home at the time, the sheriff said. Authorities also learned the teen claimed self-defense after fatally shooting his father on Valentine's Day last year in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, Judd said. There were no witnesses to the shooting, and the teen said he opened fire after his father pulled a knife on him, according to the sheriff. The man was shot once in the head and once in the chest, Judd said.
