Teen suspect arrested in Wisconsin before making it to Iowa

The unidentified 14-year-old was thought to be headed for his mother’s home near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, but he was apprehended -peacefully- early today in Wisconsin. A spokeswoman for the Washburn County, Wisconsin, Sheriff’s Department says the boy was found, but would not say if he had been charged in the two killings.The bodies were found late yesterday in a barn in rural Shell Lake, Wisconsin. The boy had reportedly been calling in sick for both his father and the girlfriend at their places of business in Shell Lake. An employer got suspicious and called authorities. The shootings may have taken place Thursday.
