Police Chief Roy Melnick is photographed at the St. Johns Police station in St. Johns. Ariz. Saturday, Nov. 8, 2008. Police in this small eastern Arizona community are looking into the possibility that an 8-year-old boy who is charged with killing his father and another man with a rifle had been abused, the police chief said Saturday. The boy, who faces two counts of premeditated murder, did not act on the spur of the moment, Melnick said. 'I'm not accusing anybody of anything at this point,' he said. 'But we're certainly going to look at the abuse part of this. He's 8 years old. He just doesn't decide one day that he's going to shoot his father and shoot his father's friend for no reason. Something led up to this.' (AP Photo/Dana Felthauser)AP - An 8-year-old boy is due in court two counts of premeditated murder as mourners prepare to remember his father.
