New Mexico teen accused of gunning down family 'lost sense of conscience' [View all]

The chilling acts the 15-year-old boy is accused of defy imagination:

Pumping his mother, brother and two younger sisters with bullets.

Gunning down his dad when he returned home.

Texting a picture of his lifeless mother to his 12-year-old girlfriend.

Plotting to kill strangers outside a supermarket.

But, family members say, Nehemiah Griego is no monster. They can't fathom what could have gone so terribly wrong.

"Whether it was a mental breakdown or some deeper undiagnosed psychological issue, we can't be sure yet," his uncle, former New Mexico state Sen. Eric Griego, said.

The family statement describes the boy as a gifted athlete and musician who was active in youth services at church.

BTW, if you were curious, Griego is a Democrat.

So what do you think, is the family covering up or really ambushed?
