On
8 March 2013, Nathon Brooks, a high-achieving and apparently happy 14
year-old from Moses Lake, Grant County, Washington, walked into his
parents’ bedroom while they were sleeping and shot both of them multiple
times in the head.
No one, not even Nathon, seems exactly sure why he did it.
His own description of the attack is probably the biggest insight we can hope to get.
Before I realised that I’d done it, I’d pulled the trigger and the gun had gone off.

“I
walked into their bedroom, I raised the gun. I don’t know why. And then
I remember having these really quick thoughts of, ‘you don’t have to do
it’. But they were so quick and, like, suddenly gone, that I didn’t
really have a chance to think about it. And before I realised that I’d
done it, I’d pulled the trigger and the gun had gone off. I fired again
and then I fired again. I ran down the hallway. I sat down on the stairs
and that’s when it really clicked what I’d done.”
CCTV
footage from the night shows Nathon running through the house in his
underwear, carrying a revolver, just prior to the shooting. We now know,
from Nathon’s confession in police custody, that he had taken the .22
Smith and Wesson pistol from a locked case in a bedroom within the
house, walked into his parents bedroom, aimed and emptied the pistol.
