Police: Pa. Man Killed 3 Teens Over Stepsons’ Feud

Police say a Philadelphia man killed three teenagers in an ambush sparked by a feud.

Investigators say 30-year-old Axel Barreto was arrested at a suburban motel last night, around the time one of his alleged victims was taken off life support.

Authorities say Barreto fired a dozen or more shots into a car loaded with seven teenagers Tuesday night after the boys arrived for a confrontation with his stepsons. Police say the planned fight stemmed from a dispute at school that spilled on to Facebook.

Police identified the victims as Joshua Soto and Dante Lugo, both 14, and 16-year-old Javier Orlandi. Soto and Orlandi died late Tuesday. Another 16-year-old who was behind the wheel was wounded in the neck.
