ATHENS, Ala.—An Alabama youth accused of killing his father, stepmother, and three young siblings when he was 14 went on trial Tuesday on capital murder charges.
Prosecutors accuse Mason Sisk of shooting his family to death in their north Alabama home in 2019, saying he told investigators he killed them because he was “fed up” with them. In their opening statements, prosecutors said Sisk told a teacher he wouldn’t be in school the following week and then took a handgun from the home of a family friend to shoot his family, news outlets reported.
