Boy, 10, finds bodies of family, including 3 brothers, who died ‘violently’ in at-home murder-suicide

A dad gunned down his wife and three of their children inside their suburban Oklahoma City home before turning the gun on himself — with a surviving 10-year-old child waking to the bloodbath, police said Tuesday.

Jonathon Candy, 42, shot his 39-year-old wife Lindsay and their sons Dylan, 18, Ethan, 14, and Lucas, 12, at their home in Yukon early Monday before killing himself, according to Oklahoma Police.

A 10-year-old son “woke up and discovered what had happened,” Sgt. Gary Knight said Tuesday of the previous day’s “carnage.”

“Make no mistake about it, what happened in that residence was nothing short of a massacre,” Knight said.

Investigators believe the shooting began after the parents started arguing late Sunday or early Monday, Knight said, without elaborating on what it was about.

“At some point [Jonathan Candy] armed himself with a gun, he shot [his wife] multiple times, killing her,” Knight said.

“At that point he systematically went through the home shooting and killing the children.”

At least one of the kids was shot dead while in bed, said Knight.

It was not clear why the fourth child was spared.

The boy, who was not otherwise identified, was physically unharmed and placed in the care of relatives.

Police had no previous contact with the family, and there was no history of domestic abuse, the police spokesman said.

The children were a sixth-grader at Meadow Brook Intermediate and a ninth-grader at Mustang High School, district superintendent Charles Bradley told families in an email Monday, detailing how another of the five had graduated just last year.

“We are shocked, and our hearts are broken; this tragedy simply defies understanding,” Bradley wrote.
