Boy admits killing parents, brothers

A 15-year-old fatally shot his parents and two younger brothers as they slept, then spent more than 12 hours with friends before returning home and calling 911 to report that his father was dead, police said Sunday.

Police went to the Cockeysville home and later charged Nicholas Waggoner Browning after he admitted to the slayings, a Baltimore County Police spokesman said.

Police said the teen, who wasn’t getting along with his father, went into the house Friday night after everyone had gone to sleep and shot them. His father’s handgun had been in the house, police said.
