A Florida man told deputies that he shot his wife and two adult children inside their family home multiple times each so “they didn’t suffer”, according to Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper.
William Conway Broyles, 57, shot and killed his wife Candace Lynn Broyles, 57, in the living room. He shot and killed his daughter, Cora Lynn Broyles, 27, in her bedroom as she was waking up.
Leeper said William then “busted through the door” of his son’s bedroom and shot his son, Aaron Christopher Broyles, 28. He then left to grab another gun and shot him again, WJAX reported.
Leeper said that Broyles called 911 after the shootings and when deputies arrived, they found him lying on his driveway unarmed.
“Later on he told us that he shot each victim multiple times, just to make sure they didn’t suffer,” Leeper said. “When he was asked why he didn’t just shoot himself, he said he was too scared to do that.”
Details about what led Broyles to commit the crime have not been released yet, but Leeper said investigators have a “pretty good idea,” Law and Crime reported.
Broyles is booked into the Nassau County Jail and his next court date is set for December 21.
