Police said the teen called 911 threatening to shoot himself or someone else.

“When they arrived, they found out that the 15-year-old suspect had just eaten a bunch of edibles and I guess had a bad reaction to them,” said Lt. Horelica with the Houston Police Department.

Officers found the boy’s mother and 17-year-old sister had been shot multiple times.

They were both rushed to the hospital for surgery and were in critical condition.

“They(firefighters) encountered the suspect in the parking lot, suspect pointed the firearm at the firemen and stated he had just killed somebody, then threw his weapon at the firemen and took off running,” said Horelica.

Police arrived on the scene and arrested the 15-year-old boy nearby.

The boy’s 16-year-old sister was also home at the time of the shooting but was not hurt.
