Ryan Edward Dougherty and Dylan Dougherty Stanley received 24 and 23 counts, respectively—including attempted murder and first-degree assault—while Lee Grace Dougherty was charged on 29 counts. Authorities are holding them on a $1.25 million bond for each sibling pending a court hearing in southern Colorado. (More Dougherty Gang stories.)
