HUMBOLDT, Kansas (AP) -- When Carolyn Moore answered the light knock
on her front door Sunday night, she was greeted by a boy wearing only
burgundy underwear and holding a shotgun.
"There stood this poor, scared, half-naked little boy saying 'Help me,help me. Hide me. They're after me,"' Moore said. "I could see the
fear in his eye. He said, 'They're going to get me and spank me
hard."'
On Wednesday, Allen County authorities said the 10-year-old boy was
charged with first-degree murder in the shotgun slaying of his father. Robert D. Hamlin, 43, was found dead Sunday night at his home near Humboldt.
