Spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in Gauteng Phindi Mjonondwane says they are also waiting for legal representations and preliminary inquiry to be conducted.
"The 14-year-old was charged with illegal possession of firearm and ammunition, whilst the 15 and 17-year-olds were charged with attempted murder and illegal possession of firearm and ammunition.
"Furthermore a 50-year-old - who's also the father to one of the minors and also the owner of the firearm - appeared before court charged with negligent loss of a firearm."
The minors are kept at a place of safety until their next court appearance on Thursday.
The father's case was postponed until August 30 for further investigation.
