LITTLE FALLS, Minn. (AP) - Two teenagers shot and killed in a home near Little Falls have been identified.

The victims were cousins, 18-year-old Haile Kifer and 17-year-old Nicholas Brady.

The alleged shooter, 64-year-old Byron David Smith, of Little Falls, is being held for second-degree murder and is likely to be charged Monday.

Kifer was a senior at Little Falls High School.

Brady was a student at Pillager High School.

Morrison County deputies went to Smith's house Friday on a suspicious activity call.

They say he confessed to shooting the teenagers a day earlier after they broke into his house, but Sheriff Michel Wetzel says investigators believe he went beyond what was required for self-defense.
