A Pittsburgh teenager is now facing adult homicide charges after allegedly shooting his mother and brother while they slept.

According to Pittsburgh's Action Four News, 14-year-old Jacob Remaley called 911 early Thursday morning and told law enforcement officials that his father, David Remaley, had shot his mother, Dana, and his brother, 8-year-old Caleb, while they were asleep in their respective bedrooms.

Action Four News reports that it wasn't until ambulance workers arrived at the Remaley home before law enforcement that they realized the teenager might be the real culprit of the horrific crime. After service workers distanced themselves from the residence fearing the the boy still had a gun, Jacob allegedly took the murder weapon and began walking away from his home with it. A concerned neighbor was able to engage in a conversation with him and got Jacob to drop the gun, CBS Pittsburgh reported.

The teen later allegedly admitted to law enforcement that he would've shot his father if he'd had the chance, CBS Pittsburgh reported.

“This is a very horrific time, a very difficult time for this particular family and the community here in New Stanton," said trooper Stephen Limani in a police statement, reports CBS Pittsburgh. "To have two individuals shot in their home while they are sleeping, it’s very traumatic."

As for motive, police are still trying to piece together why Jacob, who is currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation, allegedly committed such a heinous crime. CBS Pittsburgh adds that early interviews suggest that the teen didn't get along well with his parents, but neighbors and friends alike say there were no red flags.
