One child escaped a murder-suicide that claimed the rest of the family in a suburban Oklahoma home Monday morning.
Jonathon Candy, 42, fatally shot his wife, Lindsay Candy, 39, and three sons – Dylan, 18, Ethan, 14, and Lucas, 12 – before turning the gun on himself, Oklahoma City police said in a statement.
A fourth, unnamed child avoided the fatal catastrophe and was released to family members.
“It remains a mystery as to what caused Mr. Candy to murder his wife and three of his children,” according to police, which told Fox News Digital there weren’t any previous domestic incident calls to the Yukon home.
