WOODWARD (AP) — Two teenage girls have been charged in Woodward County with trying to kill their foster parents.
Prosecutors say 16-year-old Ashley Jewell and 15-year-old Kelsey Beames are both charged with felony counts of shooting with intent to kill and conspiracy to commit murder. Both are charged as youthful offenders and are being held in separate juvenile detention centers.
Officials in the district attorney’s office did not know if the girls had attorneys.
Police say Jewell shot and wounded Robert Parker as he slept early last Friday morning while Beames was to shoot Barbra Parker — but the gun had the wrong ammunition and didn’t fire.
Investigators say the family had recently moved to Woodward from Henryetta and the girls wanted to return there.
