Madman kills wife, children

A Florida man gunned down his wife of 30 years and two adult children at their home — shooting each victim multiple times so “they didn’t suffer,” authorities said.

William Conway Broyles, who serves as musical director at a Jacksonville church, shot his 57-year-old wife, Candace, in the living room of their Callahan home early Wednesday, WJXT reported.

Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said Broyles then went to his 27-year-old daughter’s room and shot her as she woke up before setting his sights on his 28year-old son, who was also gunned down.

Broyles called 911 after allegedly executing his family but said he took their final moments into consideration.

“Later on, he told us that he shot each victim multiple times, just to make sure they didn’t suffer,” Leeper said. “When he asked why he didn’t just shoot himself, he said he was too scared to do that.”

An arrest report identified the victims as Candace, Cara and Aaron Broyles, according to WJXT. Leeper said there was no prior history of domestic issues at the family’s home.
