Brothers Accused of Trying to Kill Parents at Georgia Home

Two brothers are in jail after they were accused of trying to kill their parents at the family's Georgia home, police said.

Just before 8 a.m. Saturday, a woman called 911 "stating her children were trying to kill her and her husband," the Gwinnett County Police Department said in a news release.

"She told the 911 operator that it was their two sons, one 17 and the other 22 years old, trying to kill them both. She stated that her husband was distracting them so she was able to call for help. The call eventually went silent," the police said.

Officers responded to the Snellville, Georgia, home, about 30 miles outside of Atlanta, where they found the father bleeding and seriously injured, police said.

The mother was also seriously injured, police said. Both parents were hospitalized.

"A strong odor of natural gas" was also detected in the house, police said. The sons were arrested and taken to the Gwinnett County Detention Center, police said.

The brothers were identified as Cameron Ervin, 17, and Christopher Ervin, 22, the Gwinnett County Police told ABC News.

"You would never even expect that," neighbor Clint Miller said, according to ABC affiliate WSB-TV in Atlanta. "They're just an everyday normal family in the neighborhood."

Both brothers were charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and arson in the first degree to endanger human life, the police told ABC News. In Georgia, 17 is considered an adult for prosecution of criminal offenses.

That part of Ga. got creamed in the financial meltdown. The value of that house would be significantly less than most other places in the nation.

I would in Obummers "fundementally transformed" America where having an over inflated sense of entitlement is the new attitude. Commit a crime how dare the police get in my way, I am owed everything because of racism.

Hopefully the parents will never turn their backs on them two again.

If they’re ever let out.

Were these “kids” adopted or natural children? Not that it matters in the long run.

actually it does matter. Sociopathy is inherited according to Swedish twin studies.

Gotta love FReepers. That is EXACTLY the pic I thought of when I saw the pic of the two perps in this story. So I barely scroll down and BAM, there it is.

Nicely done.

I’ve seen some TV show (Property Virgins I think) where there were awfully-nice houses in the Atlanta area that looked like they were going for a fraction of what they would normally be worth. I was shocked by some of the prices.
