PENN HILLS, Pa. (AP) — The parents of a 13-year-old accused of fatally shooting his 5-year-old brother with their father’s unsecured handgun last month have each been charged with four counts of child endangerment, Authorities say 35-year-old Thomas Wolfe and 37-year-old Sara Gerwig turned themselves in Wednesday, two days after Allegheny County police issued warrants for their arrests. They were released later that day, and it wasn’t known Thursday if either one has retained an attorney. Authorities have said the teen boy shot and killed his younger brother at the family’s home in Penn Hills on Nov. 22. They say the teen was trying to scare his brother and thought the safety was on when he pulled the trigger.
