Will it be possible for my 14 year old will release on house arrest?
Son 14 went with a friend 15 who had a broke gun to St. Louis and robbed a person they both live in Illinois.However the gun was broke and wasn’t nothing taken. Son understands he should’ve went and now he is also charged for 1st degree. Should he have something less like attempt are Accessory sine he didn’t have anything are a weapon just there.

Based on what you’ve told me, there are lesser crimes which might qualify. However, Robbery 1st can also be charged. RSMO 570.023(4) “Displays or threatens the use of what appears to be a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.” A broken gun still counts.

You should consider the possibility that your son is not being entirely honest with you about the case; I have never seen a case where the son told their parents the full story. More importantly, you need to contact an attorney in the ST. Louis area to discuss this case.
