Pa en andere man .
—An 8-year-old Arizona boy suspected in the deaths of his father and another man can be heard in a videotape of his police interview telling officers that he shot both men after he came home from school.
Vincent Romero and Tim Romans were found dead in Romero’s home in St. Johns, Arizona.Authorities released the tape Tuesday.
The boy, sitting cross-legged in an overstuffed armchair, initially denied involvement in the shootings but later said he shot his already wounded father “because he was suffering.”
The two officers questioning the boy press him to tell the truth, with one saying at one point, “If you’re not honest with me, if you’re not truthful, it’s not going to look good.”
The boy later appears to admit to shooting his father, saying, “After I shot him once he was still moving, I think I shot him again.”
He says on the tape he shot both men twice.
Police released the first 12 minutes of the tape, which did not include the alleged confession, earlier Tuesday and released the remainder of the tape late Tuesday afternoon. Watch police interrogate the boy »
The boy is charged with killing his father, Vincent Romero, 29, along with Tim Romans, 39, a man who rented a room in Romero’s home in St. Johns, Arizona. Police have said the boy confessed to shooting the men with a .22-caliber handgun.
At the end of the footage, the boy buries his face in his jacket as one officer asks, “You OK, sweetie?”
The officers ask whether the boy was mad at his father, but the answer is not audible.
