A 10-year-old boy awoke to a nightmare on Monday morning, discovering the tragic deaths of his mother, father, and three brothers inside their Oklahoma City home. According to police, Jonathan Candy, 42, is believed to have shot and killed his wife Lindsay, 39, and their sons Lucas, 12, Ethan, 14, and Dylan, 18, before turning the gun on himself.
Sergeant Gary Knight of the Oklahoma City Police Department stated that the surviving son notified authorities shortly after 9:30 am, indicating that he had just woken up to the grim scene. The investigation revealed that the door to the boy’s room was closed and a box fan was running, suggesting that he may have slept through the horrific events.
The motive behind this unspeakable act remains a mystery, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward. The family had no previous contact with law enforcement or history of domestic violence. The incident has shaken the community and raised questions about what could have led to such a tragedy.
