The 15-year-old pastor’s son who allegedly killed his parents and three younger siblings enjoyed playing violent video games like Modern Warfare and Grand Theft Auto.

Arrested: Nehemiah Griego admitted to police that he shot his family members when he was mad at his mother

‘The suspect was involved heavily in games, violent games- its kind of what he was into. and was quite excited as he got the opportunity to discuss them with our investigators,’ sheriff Dan Houston said at a Tuesday press conference about the shooting.

Investigators revealed that 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego said that he killed his relatives because ‘he was frustrated with his mother.’

The boy told police that he was feeling homicidal and suicidal at the time of the early morning attack on Saturday and he initially planned to drive to a local Walmart and kill more people.

He also reportedly considered killing the parents of his 12-year-old girlfriend, though no further details about the confession, and they are continuing to piece together the timeline of events.

Sheriff’s department spokesman Aaron Williamson told MailOnline that they are still unsure of what the boy was doing between the hours of 5am- when he reportedly killed his father- to 8pm on Saturday when he drove to their local Calvary Church and told one of the churchgoers. That person then called the police.

Mr Williamson said that the investigation is still ongoing but there are no active searches for any other suspects.

He confirmed that all of the weapons- both the .22-calibre rifle and AR-15 military assault rifle that were used to kill the relatives, and the two additional shotguns that Nehemiah had on him when he drove to the church- were all legally owned by his father, former pastor Gregory Griegos.

Once taken into custody sometime after 9.15pm on Saturday, Nehemiah told police the gruesome story of how he killed his mother with a .22-caliber rifle because he was ‘annoyed with’ his mother, and then went on to shoot dead his three younger siblings before taking an AR-15 assault rifle and waiting for hours until his father arrived home so that he could kill him too

The 15-year-old said that at just after midnight on Saturday he walked into his parent’s bedroom where his mother and younger brother were sleeping and took the rifle from his parent’s closet.

He then shot his mother Sara in the head, and when his 9-year-old brother Zephania awoke and said that he did not believe that she was dead, the police report states that Nehemiah ‘picked up his mother’s head to show his brother her bloody face.’

When Zephania began to cry, Nehemiah shot him dead too before proceeding into the room where his 5-year-old sister Jael and 2-year-old sister Angelina were sleeping.

‘Nehemiah stated he lost his sense of conscience and went to the bedroom his two younger sisters share. Nehemiah stated when he entered he noticed that his sisters were crying and he shot both of them in the head,’ the police report says.
