OWINGS MILLS, Md. — A 20-year-old Owings Mills man faces attempted murder charges after admitting to stabbing his parents.
On Wednesday morning Baltimore County Police were dispatched to a home in the 12300 block Greenspring Avenue for reported suspicious activity.
The caller stated an armed person was walking around his house.
Responding officers found no evidence supporting those claims, so they cleared the scene.
Nearly two-hours later the same caller dialed 911 again, this time reporting a stabbing at the home.
Arriving officers were met at the front door by a bloodied Jaden Kevon Dawkins, who confessed to stabbing both of his parents.
According to charging documents, Dawkins asked police "Y'all got a band aid or anything?"
After handcuffing Dawkins, police discovered his parents hiding in the master bedroom closet.

Each suffered severe stab wounds, causing large amounts of blood to be lost.
Both were taken to Shock Trauma.
The stepfather, who is 83-years of age, was flown by helicopter before undergoing emergency surgery.
Dawkins required surgery as well on his hand.
As for why he stabbed his parents, Dawkins claimed "they are in on [the break-in]."
Detectives interviewed his parents at the hospital.
They told investigators that Dawkins woke them up about someone breaking into the home.
Knowing that wasn't true, the stepfather told Dawkins to leave the room.
Dawkins later returned and attacked both parents with a bladed weapon, which investigators recovered from the hallway.
He's currently being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
