Boy shot family 'after beating from father'
A 14-year-old boy accused in a triple-murder on television journalist Sam Donaldson’s ranch told police he took a gun from the barn and shot his family after being repeatedly beaten by his father – including once with a shovel, according to a man who took care of the teenager before his arrest.
Cody Posey remained in custody in the deaths of his father Delbert Paul Posey, stepmother Tryone Posey and 14-year-old stepsister Mary Lee Schmid, whose bodies were unearthed from a shallow grave near their Hondo ranch, southern New Mexico.
