Life in Prison for "Parricidal" Adolescent

A 12-year-old boy from a small town in Colorado shot and killed both of his parents and seriously injured two of his younger siblings. I saw this on the news just a few minutes ago...and I couldn't believe it.
But how should this boy be punished? Should he be jailed for life, like an adult, or thrown into a youth corrections facility, we all know how those are? These are the questions on the table now. Normally, a child his age would be given the latter, but again, how many 12-year-old kids have killed their parents. A real tragedy.
