Teen Claims Father Shot Mother at Clarksville Home

William Larson Junior

BELMONT, NY (WBEN) - William Larson, Jr., the teen who's been accused of killing his parents at their Clarksville home after a fire last week, made his first court appearance on Tuesday for a preliminary hearing.

However, there was a twist.

Channel 2's Dave McKinley was inside the courtroom:

Larson told police in videotaped interrogation his dad shot his mom then he shot his dad. (Autopsy shows both were also stabbed.) Says he left bodies outside 2 weeks before dragging them inside home & setting fire which brought EMS “Dumbest thing I ever did” he told cops @WGRZ pic.twitter.com/NAtdlYKTZo

Several reports indicate that Larson claims to have shot his father from his porch while his father sat in his vehicle in the driveway. He also claims that he only shot his father after he threw a knife at him.

We'll have more information as details emerge.
