Parents CHARGED after 13-year-old SHOOTS 5-year-old brother to DEATH! The…

parents of a 5-year-old boy who was SHOT and MURDERED by his older brother last month are now FACING CHARGES. Thomas Wolfe and Sara Gerwig have been CHARGED with ENDANGERING the welfare of children.

Police said their 13-year-old son got his hands on the couple's HANDGUN at the family's home in the suburb of Penn Hills last month and SHOT his younger brother in the face.

Court documents say Wolfe ADMITTED he left the GUN on top of a GUN SAFE and said the GUN was always LOADED with a LIVE ROUND in the chamber.

Gerwig said all four of their children were staying in a first floor bedroom because the electricity had stopped working on the second floor. The GUN was on the first floor.

Police said they found MULTIPLE SAFES and TRIGGER LOCKS in the home, but NONE were being used.

The 13-year-old has been CHARGED with HOMICIDE.

Investigators originally believed the 5-year-old was SHOT and MURDERED by a 6-year-old sibling when the children were LEFT UNSUPERVISED in the bedroom and had easy access to the GUN.

HOWEVER, earlier this month, the 13-year-old was brought to Allegheny County Police Headquarters to speak with investigators.

He told them he became with his siblings for JUMPING on the bed and got his father's GUN to try to SCARE them. He told them he thought the SAFETY was on when he pointed the GUN and pulled the TRIGGER.

The 5-year-old was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced .

According to a criminal complaint the boy told police "he knew his father's HANDGUN was accessible…and grabbed it."

The Allegheny County District Attorney's Office is CHARGING the 13-year-old as an adult because the boy INTENTIONALLY SHOT his brother, a spokesman said in a statement. HOMICIDE CHARGES can't be filed directly in juvenile court, the district attorney's office explained.

Amazing how one incident like this that only takes a second can be a life and death changer for this stupid family.

This is going to tear them apart.
One child is dead.
Another is going to prison for probably a long time. Maybe a decade or more.
And the parents are going to go away to prison only to see their other kids through glass or bars for a while.

Man, what a couple of morons not thinking or using those safety things they had in the house with those guns and kids around.

They ALL deserve whatever punishments they all get.
