A Texas boy was taken into custody last weekend after he allegedly shot his mother and sister multiple times, Houston Police said.
The 15-year-old suspect reportedly ingested a large amount of marijuana before he called 911 at around 11 p.m. Saturday telling dispatchers he was going to kill someone or kill himself.
Firefighters arrived at the scene and encountered the boy who initially threatened them with a gun before throwing it and taking off.
The suspect’s mother and 17-year-old sister were found shot multiple times. They were listed in “very critical” condition.
Police arrested the boy shortly later. A 16-year-old sibling was found unharmed in the home.
Investigators believe the teen had “a bad reaction” after ingesting “a bunch of edibles.”
“He ended up using that gun and shooting his mother multiple times in the back and shooting one of his sisters multiple times,” said Lt. JP Horelica.
