More than 400 people have gathered at a Little Falls church for the funeral of two teens shot to death after they allegedly broke into a man's home on Thanksgiving Day. Saturday's ceremony lasted more than an hour.

A memorial fund has been set up for the families of two Minnesota teenagers fatally shot during an alleged home burglary. The fund was set up at Pine Country Bank in Little Falls, Bowlus, Royalton and Rice. Checks may be written out to the Haile Kifer and Nicholas Brady Memorial Fund.

A Little Falls man charged with murdering two teenagers who apparently broke into his home on Thanksgiving Day had a job that involved overseeing technical security issues for U.S. embassies. Byron Smith was a security engineer for the U.S. Department of State.

The Morrison County Sheriff says they've found evidence that links the two teens who were shot and killed on Thanksgiving Day to another another burglary. Sheriff Michel Wetzel says a search of their red Mitsubishi Eclipse found items reported stolen in the burglary.

A joint funeral will be held Saturday for two teens who were killed in a Little Falls home. Eighteen-year-old Haile Kifer of Little Falls and 17-year-old Nick Brady of Randall were shot multiple times.
