COLUMBUS, Georgia -- A Columbus, Ga. teenager is accused of shooting a gun at his parents on Friday evening after they insisted he do his chores instead of looking up a Bible verse for a friend.
A detective testified in Muscogee Juvenile Court on Monday that the 15-year-old felt finding the right Bible verse for his female friend who wanted to be ‘saved’ was more important than completing the list of chores his parents insisted he do on Thursday, the Ledger-Enquirer reported.
The 15-year-old’s anger grew until Friday night when he went to his parent’s nightstand and took out a .9-mm pistol.
When his parents got home from work, police say the teenager fired shots at his parents, shooting his mother through the right wrist where the bullet lodged in her right abdomen, according to the Ledger-Enquirer. His father was hit in the right hip.
The teenager will remain in the Youth Detention Center without bond until a formal hearing it set. He is charged with two counts each of aggravated assault and possessing a firearm while under the age of 18.
