Suspect In Triple Murder Appears In Court

BRIGHTON, Colo. (CBS4)- The hunt for one suspect in a triple murder continues but the other suspect has been arrested and appeared in court on Friday.

Gabriel Flores is being held without bond in the deaths of three people.

In court Flores exhibited strange behavior, at times scowling at the courtroom and mumbling at other times. He did speak up to tell the judge he was never read his Miranda rights when he was arrested.
