In the sleepy far east suburb of Concord, California a 17-year-old boy has been arrested for the serial murder of at least two dozen migratory waterfowl. In five separate incidents over the past two months, the unnamed teen slaughtered an entire flock's worth of geese and ducks at two area parks.

The alleged murder weapon was either a pellet gun or small-caliber bullets. So, parents: perhaps you should evaluate certain items on your children's Christmas lists. The teen was arrested last Friday, the Chronicle reports, and he is currently spending some time at the Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall where we hope he's getting some state-provided therapy sessions.
