Three Texas teens are behind bars for what police say was an attempt to murder their mother following a household squabble over internet permissions. 

The siblings – ages 14, 15 and 16 – allegedly coordinated to kill their mother after she turned off their Wi-Fi access, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a social media post

On March 23, deputies responded to a disturbance in the 3400 block of Barkers Crossing Avenue in Houston.

The three siblings were arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. They are currently being held in the Harris County Juvenile Detention Center. 

Neither the teens’ mother, nor their grandmother, were seriously injured during the incident. Due to their ages, no further information has been released.
