A Baltimore County grand jury indicted 16-year-old Nicholas Browning on Monday in the shooting deaths of his parents and two younger brothers.
The eight-count indictment charges Browning with four counts of first-degree murder and four counts of illegal use of a handgun in commission of a violent crime.
“At this time there are no additional suspects and no additional indictments are anticipated,” Baltimore County State?s Attorney Scott Shellenberger said in a statement.
John Browning, 45, his wife, Tamara, 44, and sons Gregory, 14, and Benjamin, 11, were found dead in their Cockeysville home around 5 p.m. Feb. 2 by Nicholas Browning as he returned home from a friend?s house, police said.
Police said the honor student at Dulaney High School who was close to becoming an Eagle Scout executed his family ? one by one ? then dumped his father?s gun in nearby bushes and later confessed to the crime.
He faces up to life in prison. No trial date has been set.
Browning marked his 16th birthday behind bars in the Baltimore County Detention Center on Saturday, the same day of the funeral for his family.
