TOWSON, Md. (AP) - A 16-year-old Maryland Boy Scout accused of
killing his parents and two younger brothers has been indicted on
four counts of first-degree murder.
The members of the Browning family were shot to death in
suburban Baltimore earlier this month.
Authorities say Nicholas Browning was charged after confessing
to police and telling investigators where he'd stashed the weapon,
a handgun belonging to his father.
Police say the teenager had disagreements with his father, but
beyond that haven't discussed a possible motive.
