DEL NORTE, Colo. (AP) -- A 15-year-old boy told a sheriff's detective he killed his parents because they hassled him about chores and called him derogatory names and he "didn't want to take it anymore."

A video of the interview was played Thursday during a court hearing for John Caudle, who is charged as an adult for the deaths of his mother and stepfather in October.

Caudle told the detective he first killed his mother at their home and tried to shot her in the head "so she wouldn't feel anything." He says he then shot his stepfather an hour later when he returned to their home in Monte Vista, a town in rural southern Colorado.

Caudle sobbed during the interview with the detective and at one point told him he felt worse after recounting his crime.
