GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Authorities in Greensboro say a 13-year-old is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in a December double homicide.
A statement from Greensboro police says officers arrested the teenager without incident Thursday in connection with a shooting on Dec. 2. He faces charges in the shooting deaths of 23-year-old Ernest Lemark Cuthbertson and 44-year-old Jeffrey Devine Hampton. Police said the teen was an acquaintance of Cuthbertson.
