Teen pleads guilty to killing girlfriend's parents

A Pennsylvania teen pleaded not guilty to two counts of criminal homicide for the shooting deaths of his girlfriend’s parents – a case that sparked a national manhunt when he fled the state with the 14-year-old girl.

David Ludwig, 18, also waived his right to an arraignment, which had been scheduled for today, according to papers filed last night.

Ludwig is accused of gunning down Michael and Cathryn Borden inside their Lititz home on November 13 after they ordered him to stop seeing their daughter, Kara Beth.

He could get the death penalty if convicted. The girl, who was not charged, fled the state with Ludwig after the shooting.

She was with him when he was captured in Indiana the following day after he crashed while being chased by police.

Authorities have said Ludwig admitted to the killings.

He allegedly told detectives that he and Kara wanted to “get as far away as possible” and get married, but that she wasn’t involved in the killings.

Ludwig also pleaded not guilty to a charge of reckless endangerment.

Ludwig’s trial is scheduled to begin on September 5.
