From Times Wire Reports

A 17-year-old boy was arrested as one of two alleged shooters in a rampage that killed six people, including the other teenage suspect. The pair, wielding shotguns and wearing bandannas, killed five people in two homes a few blocks apart, Aurora, Colo., police said. Then one of the boys apparently finished off the other, officers added. The surviving suspect, whose name was not disclosed, was jailed on suspicion of six counts of first-degree murder. All six victims and the 17-year-old boy knew each other. But police were unsure what triggered the killing spree. In one home, police found three bodies. At a townhouse complex six blocks away, police found the bodies of two teenage boys. Clues at that site led police to the body of Michael Martinez, 18, in a field 10 miles away.
