Teen shoots his father dead before driving to an elementary school and killing a six-year-old boy during recess
A South Carolina teen could face life in prison after he pleaded guilty to murdering his father and a six-year-old boy on Wednesday.
Jesse Osborne, who aspired to be the most prolific school shooter in American history, was just 14 when he confessed to shooting his father Jeffrey in the head three times at their home in Townville on September 28, 2016. After killing his father, he drove his pickup truck three miles to a local elementary school and opened fire on a group of children who were outside for recess. While three people sustained severe injuries, the youngest victim, six-year-old Jacob Hall, died from a bullet to the leg three days after the incident.
The suspect, now 16, entered a guilty plea Wednesday on two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder in Anderson County Court with no plea deal. Osborne deserved to die in jail for his actions, Solicitor David Wagner told the court, Daily Mail reports.
