A teenage boy was jailed on murder charges after, authorities said, he reported killing four members of his family at a New Mexico home Saturday.
The 16-year-old boy called 911 at 3:32 a.m. to report the deaths near the small city of Belen, 33 miles south of Albuquerque, New Mexico State Police said.
The teenager, who was "extremely intoxicated," left a residence and surrendered to arriving deputies with his hands raised, police said.
Inside, authorities found four people dead and a handgun on the kitchen table, police said.
State police released the identity of the teenager and the victims; however, NBC News does not typically name juveniles accused of crimes.
