Couple in court on child endangerment charges after their son shot, killed his brother

PENN HILLS, Pa. — Penn Hills parents were in court Monday on child endangerment charges after their 13-year-old son was accused of shooting and killing their other 5-year-old son.

All of the charges against Sara Gerwig and Thomas Wolfe were held for court in their preliminary hearing.

The shooting happened back in November at a home on Prescott Drive.

During Monday’s hearing, a detective testified that Gerwig told all four children in the home to watch a move in the master bedroom. That detective said Wolfe kept a loaded gun on top of the safe on the nightstand in the bedroom. That was the gun investigators said their teenage son used to kill his brother.

Channel 11′s Gabriella DeLuca tried questioning the couple as they left the courtroom. Neither had any comment.
