(CBS/AP) COLUMBIA, S.C. - Police say a 17-year-old in South Carolina shot his mother to death on Mother's Day.

A judge on Monday denied bond for Joshua David McEachern, who was charged with murder.

Authorities say the teen shot his 59-year-old mother and 21-year-old brother Sunday night at the family's Greenville home. Police say he then called authorities to report the shooting.

His brother is in critical condition.

McEachern's grandmother, Fran McEachern, tells The Associated Press Monday she last saw her grandson just over a year ago and the teen has mental issues. She says he was a sweet boy but never seemed normal.
