Retired Newport News police officer killed by grandson www.privateofficer.com
The teen’s name hasn’t been released. He’ll be charged with two counts of first degree murder, according to the DA.
The principal of Volunteer High School said the teen went there.
The teen lived with his grandparents. He returned to their house on Stanley Valley Road at 3:00 a.m. Monday, where a deputy took him into custody.
A Hawkins County deputy found the bodies of Clyde and Linda Fannin at their home on Saturday.
The sheriff’s department got a call after a relative couldn’t contact the family.
The DA said Linda Fannin was stabbed to death, and Clyde Fannin was shot to death with a .22 caliber gun.
Clyde Fannin retired from the Newport News, Virginia Police Department in March 2003 after 31 years of service. That’s when the couple moved to Surgoinsville.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is helping with the case.
The Fannins’ bodies were sent to the Quillen College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University for autopsies.
The teen’s father lives in Newport News, Virginia.
