A Louisiana man pleaded guilty on Monday hours before jury selection in his trial for fatally stabbing his grandmother, stabbing and injuring his mother, and shooting three other people.

Aaron Morgan, 32, received what amounts to a life sentence, with a total of 120 years in prison, according to Baton Rouge CBS affiliate WAFB. He had pleaded down from second-degree murder to manslaughter, but also accepted five counts of attempted murder in the first degree and one count of robbery with use of a firearm.

He lashed out in a bloody crime spree on Aug. 1, 2021. First, he fatally stabbed his grandmother Diane Gafford, 78, and injured his mother so severely that she had to be hospitalized.
