"In light of Aaron's increasingly alarming behavior and his recent confession that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child, we were left with no choice but to take every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family," Nick -- who's expecting his second baby with wife Lauren Kitt -- alleged.
"We love our brother and truly hope he gets the proper treatment he needs before any harm comes to himself or anyone else," Nick concluded the post, which he shared with the hashtags #mentalhealth, #GunControlNow and #GunControl.
