Authorities claimed the 14-year-old confessed to fatally shooting his 17-year-old older brother, and said they discovered the Alabama teen's "hit list" after another student he had confided in came forward.<\/h2>\n

A 14-year-old teen from Alabama, who has been accused of murdering his older brother, had a “hit list” of other targets and plans for a high school shooting, according to the Pike County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

As reported by local CBS affiliate WAKA 8 <\/strong>on Wednesday, authorities claim the boy confessed to fatally shooting his 17-year-old brother at their Monticello home after the body of the older brother — who had been missing since Monday — was discovered on the property. After searching the family’s residence, Pike County Sheriff Russell Thomas said authorities also found a “hit list” in the 14-year-old’s backpack that revealed the other family members he also allegedly intended to kill.<\/p>\n

“We learned through a friend of his that he had actually had a hit list to kill his family members — a detailed list of who, where, how, whether [it] would be easy or difficult,” Sheriff Thomas told WAKA 8. “We went and searched the residence and his book bag, and did, in fact, find the hit list, and that he intended also to shoot up the school, which is Pike County High School.”<\/p>\n

Thomas later added, “He had already proved that he would kill, and we were very, very fortunate — and blessed — that he didn’t carry out his plans, and that we were able to intervene and stop all of this.”<\/p>\n

Authorities said the younger brother — who was not identified by law enforcement — is currently in custody.<\/p>\n

The sheriff — who interviewed the teen — said after the boy allegedly shot his brother inside the house, the 17-year-old brother “staggered outside” [and] “fell to the ground,” before the 14-year-old “dragged [the body] about 60 yards around to the edge of the property,” and then “returned to the house and cleaned.”<\/p>\n
