Nathon Brooks was just 14 years-old when shot his parents, Beth and Jon, as they slept in their middle-class, Washington State home in 2013. Miraculously they both survived, despite being hit with six rounds of ammunition.
Now, the couple have confronted their convict teen in a dramatic new documentary for BBC3 called I Shot My Parents .

In a preview clip, the teen tries to explain his actions. Speaking from his cell, he says:

"That’s when it really clicked what I’d done. I remember thinking, ‘gone’.”
Originally, prosecutors wanted Nathon to stand trial as an adult meaning a potential sentence of 50 years in prison.
However, he avoided trial by pleading guilty to the lesser charge of assault with a deadly weapon in the first degree. He is now serving 15 and a half years in prison.
Amazingly, his parents are standing by him - despite the fact they've both been left physically and psychologically scarred by the attack.
