Prosecutors: Teen charged in 5 murders was aggressive before

ATHENS, Ala. (AP) – New court documents allege an Alabama teen accused of killing five family members was aggressive toward his relatives before the 2019 killings.

The documents say Mason Sisk tried to poison his stepmother with peanut butter when he knew she had a severe peanut allergy.

Sisk has pleaded not guilty to capital murder charges in the 2019 deaths of his father, stepmother and their three children.

All died from gunshot wounds at home in Elkmont while they slept. Sisk was 14 at the time of the killings. He is being tried as an adult.

Sisk could go to trial later this year.
