A Texas teen was arrested this week and charged with murder for allegedly shooting his two friends killing one just before Christmas.
Connor Hilton, 17, allegedly told cops he “had thought about and wanted to commit a homicide for a long time” before he shot Ethan Riley and 19-year-old Benjamin Bliek in the head at his Friendswood home on Dec. 23.
“Hilton stated that there was no disturbance between him and the other subjects to include any disagreement on the date of this incident,” Police said.
The suspect admitted that he “stood up, raised the gun, and shot Riley first in the left side of the head.” Riley died of his injuries.
“Hilton then stated that he then turned to his right and shot Bliek in the left side of the head.”
Bliek is still in critical condition. A witness to the shooting fled and barricaded themselves in a bathroom where they called 911.
“Hilton stated that he fully understands what he had done and that he should be held accountable.”
