I cannot imagine how a parent could do such a thing, regardless of any situation.
Oklahoma father 'hunted' his own family, left one child, 10, alive: 'Nothing short of a massacre'
Jonathon Candy, 42, fatally shot his wife and three sons in an Oklahoma suburb, police said
A 10-year-old child woke up after his father "hunted" down his older brothers and mom in a disturbing murder-suicide inside a suburban Oklahoma home, police said.
Jonathon Candy, 42, had an argument with his wife, Lindsay, which spiraled out of control. He grabbed a gun and fatally shot his wife "multiple times" and "systematically went through the home shooting the children," Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Gary Knight said.
Responding officers found the 10-year-old outside alive, but his brothers — Dylan, 18, Ethan, 14, and Lucas, 12 — were all killed before Jonathan turned the gun on himself, according to police.
"Make no mistake. What happened in that residence was nothing short of a massacre," Knight said during a Tuesday press conference. "The children were hunted down and killed."
The Candy Family issued a statement to news outlets.
"Our entire family has been left shattered and confused with so many questions we won’t ever have answers to," the family said. "Jonathon was the one whose jokes and goofy attitude kept everyone smiling.
"Aside from these events, his children and wife were his entire life. I simply can’t fathom what went on but please, hug your family tight. It’s going to be a very long healing process for everyone affected."
Unfathomable confusion shrouded the murders for hours after responding officers found the dead family Monday morning and a 10-year-old boy outside the house.
Knight described the scene inside the Yukon, Oklahoma, home as "carnage."
"It remains a mystery as to what caused Mr. Candy to murder his wife and three of his children," according to police, which said there were no previous domestic incidents at the Yukon, Oklahoma home, a suburb of Oklahoma City.
It's even more puzzling why he left his youngest child alive. "It's something we'll never know," Knight said.
Edgar Felix, a neighbor to the Candy family, told KOCO News 5, a local ABC affiliate, that it's "mind-blowing. In a house too, no less."
"It makes you wonder what kind of activity happened in that house," Felix said.

Jesus, what the $^%# is wrong with people? He spared the 10 year old to give him a life time of struggle after that.

My prayers go out to that kid and the surviving extended family. How does someone get to a place where killing their entire family is the answer?
This will get added to the mass shooting statistics and there will be another push for gun control.
We all need to practice Whoa more.

Exactly. He had to have been on some sort of drugs, prescribed or illegal. A sober mind just could not do those sort of things.

You know, there are number of things that could have caused this, first on my mind is marijuana. Legalized in OK recently, we saw the same kind of issues in CO when they legalized (rec vs medicinal, but in OK you can get the med card pretty much anywhere).
Second on my mind is schizophrenia. Age fits as most break into psychosis with little to no previous symptoms in late 30's to early 40's.
Next would be some sort of other drug fueled psychotic break, any of the illegals can make you do stupid stuff.
All of this is to say this could have just been a completely demonic evil act (obviously it was) with no other cause.
We live in a an evil world. It is a very broken world.

People descend into madness all the time. Most aren't homicidal but some are.

It is demonic, or it is mind control. To be honest i think the ones experimenting with mind control are influenced by the demonic anyway, directly or by proxy.
