WELLINGTON, Ohio -- Police in Brighton Township in Lorain County said that a teenager shot his parents.

The boy's mother was killed and his father, who is also a pastor, is in critical condition after being shot in their home on Peck-Wadsworth Road on Saturday.

Marc Petric, 45, was flown to MetroHealth Medical Center after the shooting at 7 p.m. Sue Petric died at the scene.

Marc is the pastor at New Life Assembly of God.

The couple's 16-year-old son, Daniel, is being questioned by the Lorain County Sheriff.
