Two teenage brothers from Georgia faced stern reprimands in court following accusations of firing shots at other teens during a party.

Local ABC affiliate WSB reported from the courtroom where Clayton County Magistrate Court Judge Latrevia Kates-Johnson chastised the two brothers, who are charged as adults for a shooting incident that occurred in January. Dwayne Tolbert, 14, and Major Tolbert, 13, were apprehended on Tuesday and are facing multiple felony charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, reckless conduct, and firearm possession.

During a video appearance on Thursday, Kates-Johnson called their alleged crime “senseless,” and told the brothers, “I just don’t know what to say.”

The Tolbert brothers allegedly shot at other teenagers at a birthday party in January, reportedly because they were invited to the party and later kicked out, according to WSB. A fight reportedly broke out, and one or both of the boys allegedly opened fire. One unnamed minor was allegedly shot in the leg.

The teens later allegedly posted video of the shooting to Instagram bragging about it.

Dwayne Tolbert attempted to explain to the judge that it was their cousin’s party, but Kates-Johnson stopped him before allowing him to possibly incriminate himself.
