The Ocala Star Banner says Larue walked into a sheriff's office and confessed to Sgt. Mike Mongeluzzo and Detective John Lightle.
Larue told officers he was watching YouTube videos that made him paranoid that someone was going to harm his mother. He grabbed a gun and shot his mother when she came downstairs. He then shot the dog and set the house on fire.
An arrest report says Larue got in a row boat and crossed the lake near his house before running through the woods and turning himself in.
