Authorities said the fourth child was unharmed.

“It remains a mystery as to what caused Candy to murder his wife and three of his children,” a statement by police read Tuesday.

Master Sgt Gary Knight of the Oklahoma City Police Department termed it the homicide saying: “This is not a carbon monoxide or fentanyl deal. These people died violently.”

Knight also said in a statement that police can’t yet reveal what investigators believe happened.

As many as 115 mass shootings have been reported this year according to the Gun Violence Archive. The mass shooting is defined as one in which at least four people are shot, excluding the shooter.
