BALTIMORE, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Baltimore County police charged a 15-year-old boy with first-degree murder Sunday after he allegedly confessed to killing his parents and two brothers.

A "17-year-old" discovered the bodies of two adults and two teenagers Saturday evening upon returning home from a sleepover at a friend's house, The Baltimore Sun reported Sunday.

Police officials said Sunday they charged Nicholas Browning as an adult for the murder of his father, John Browning, 45; his mother Tamara, 44; and his brothers Gregory, 13, and Benjamin, 11.

A police spokesman said Nicholas Browning confessed to the crimes early Sunday, WBAL-TV in Baltimore reported Sunday.

The spokesman said Nicholas Browning admitted killing the family at their Cockeysville residence with his father's handgun following a dispute with his father.

Officials held Nicholas Browning without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center pending a bail review Monday.
