From his hospital bed, a Maryland man described seeing his teenage son fatally shooting his wife and 8-year-old boy Thursday.

Taledia Oxley, 44, and her 8-year-old son Asa Oxley were killed, Prince George’s County police said.

“Everything was peaceful and calm until those shots rang out,” James Oxley said.

“I just heard pow, pow, and I didn't know if it was the TV,” he said after getting out of surgery Friday. “I didn't know what was going on, but I looked and my son, my 15-year-old son ... was shooting at my wife, and then he shot my son, and I jumped up and tried to get him, and he shot me twice -- one in the hand and one in the thigh -- and he dropped the gun and ran.”

Officers caught the teen minutes later. They said he admitted to shooting and killing his mother and brother before shooting his father.

Oxley, who said he was looking forward to celebrating 26 years of marriage with his wife this year, said his son must be held accountable.

“I mean, I forgive him, but he killed his mother who brought him into this world, my wife, and his 8-year-old brother, who didn't deserve this,” he said.

The teen suspect was charged as an adult with murder and is being held in juvenile detention, according to the Prince George's County State's Attorney's Office. Police did not release his name, and court documents are sealed.

Oxley said his son used the registered gun he bought for his wife to protect the family's home when he was deployed in Iraq.

No information on a possible motive was released.

Police said they previously had been called to the home in relation to the teen.
