10-year-old boy calls police after discovering his father murdered his mother and three brothers.

Jonathan Candy was a man who was believed to have committed a horrific and tragic act. It is believed that he shot and killed his wife and their three oldest sons before turning the gun on himself. The news of this tragedy shocked the community, leaving many questioning what could have possibly led to such a devastating event.

One morning, a 10-year-old boy woke up to find his entire family dead inside their home. It was a scene that no child should ever have to witness. According to Oklahoma City Police Department Sgt. Gary Knight, the boy "woke up and discovered what had happened" on Monday morning. His father, Jonathan Candy, was believed to have shot and killed his wife Lindsay Candy, as well as their three sons, Lucas, Ethan, and Dylan. The only surviving child was the youngest son, and authorities were unable to provide an explanation as to why he was spared.

It was a tragic and senseless act that left the community in shock. Police were called to the scene after the 10-year-old boy dialed 911 and reported finding his family members dead. The parents, Jonathan and Lindsay Candy, were believed to have gotten into an argument late Sunday or early Monday. According to Sgt. Knight, Jonathan then armed himself with a gun and shot his wife multiple times, killing her. He then proceeded to systematically go through the home and shoot and kill each of his three sons.

When police arrived, they were met with a scene of unimaginable carnage. The motive behind the killings remains unknown, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward and contact the homicide tip line. The 10-year-old boy was fortunate enough to have slept through the shooting and was unharmed. He is now under the care and custody of relatives.

This tragic event left many with questions and no clear answers. According to Sgt. Knight, there was no previous history of violence or contact with law enforcement for the Candy family. It was a complete mystery as to what could have driven Jonathan Candy to commit such a heinous act. The community was left reeling and in disbelief over what had occurred in the Candy residence.

Sadly, this was not the first time that a family has been torn apart by such a violent and tragic event. Just ten months prior, a Louisiana pastor allegedly shot and killed his wife before taking his own life in front of their children. And in another incident in November, a mother-of-three was fatally shot by her estranged husband in her driveway while her children were inside their home. These senseless acts of violence leave a lasting impact on those left behind and serve as a reminder to cherish the ones we love.
