From MSNBC: PHILADELPHIA – An outraged Mayor Michael Nutter lashed out after three 14-year-olds in his city were killed, calling the shooter “a dog,” “idiot” and “a**hole.” He also fumed at the dead boys’ parents for not adequately supervising their children, saying that “their little butts” should have been in bed.

The mayor’s on-camera remarks came after a 30-year-old stepfather opened fire on a car full of kids who came over to fistfight with his three stepsons Tuesday night, according to police, reported NBCPhiladelphia.com. A source told NBC Philadelphia that Axel Barreto confessed to firing shots on the car, killing three teenagers inside. He was apprehended Wednesday night in a Bensalem, Pa., motel.
