An unidentified 15-year-old boy allegedly shot his parents in Columbus, Georgia, because they asked him to do chores, but he wanted to look up a Bible verse for a friend.

The chores included packing an old comforter to be donated to Goodwill.

According to the Ledger-Enquirer, Police Detective Amanda Hogan said in a court hearing on Monday that the teen was furious about the chores request made last Thursday. On Friday, he allegedly shot his parents with a gun left on their nightstand.

The boy’s stepmother Kristi Askevich was shot in the right wrist, while Randal Askevich, the teen’s father, was shot in the right hip.

When police arrived, the parents were still being held at gunpoint, reports the Associated Press. Randal eventually convinced his son to turn over the gun.

Both parents were shocked that he had shot them.

Solid Rock Church Pastor Jay Bailey told the Ledger-Enquirer that the boy had “anger issues” but added, “He is a very affectionate young man.”

Two fifth-grade boys armed with a stolen semi-automatic gun, ammunition clip and knife plotted to kill a classmate in Washington state but were thwarted when another student informed a school employee, authorities said Thursday.

The two boys, who told police they considered the girl rude and annoying, won’t be tried as adults and will be in court next Wednesday for a capacity hearing, said Tim Rasmussen, the Stevens County prosecuting attorney.

The two boys, ages 10 and 11, told authorities that they were also going to kill, or “get,” six more students at Fort Colville Elementary School in Colville, Washington, and even identified them from a class list provided by school employees, according to court documents.

The boys’ plan called for the older to stab the girl off-campus with a 3.25-inch knife last week, and the younger boy would scare off any responders with a .45-caliber Remington 1911 semi-automatic handgun, court documents said.

The younger boy had been in “a short dating relationship” with the girl, but he told authorities that “she’s rude and always made fun of me and my friends,” court papers said.

“Yes, I just want her dead,” the younger boy told authorities. He brought the gun and knife to school, documents said.

The older boy had been friends with the girl for several months, but he wanted to kill her because she picked on and annoyed him, court papers said.

“Yes, and I wanted to kill her alone at first,” the older boy told a police officer.

The officer noticed in his interview with the older boy that he “did not display any emotion or remorse during the interview,” court papers said.

A cab driver called police early Saturday morning when the windshield of his taxi was hit by a BB on Madison’s North Side, the Madison Police Department reported.

It happened at about 1:20 a.m. Saturday in the 2000 block of Scott Lane.

“The cab driver was on duty with people in the cab when he heard the sound of the BB on the windshield,” said police spokesman Joel DeSpain.

“He looked up to see a young teen standing on a small balcony, holding what appeared to be a rifle,” DeSpain said.

Arriving officers found the two boys, a BB rifle and an Airsoft pistol.

“The cab driver identified the 13-year-old as the shooter, but he denied it, saying he was raised right and told not to lie to police,” DeSpain said.

The 12-year-old said both had been shooting the BB rifle from the balcony and told the 13-year-old to shoot at the cab.

“For his honesty, the 12-year-old got a stern warning from police while the 13-year-old received several citations,” DeSpain said.

The 13-year-old was cited for damage to property, discharge of a BB gun and obstructing.
