Axton, Virginia It’s after midnight on a SaturdaySaturday reviews, a time for all good college kids to be hitting their drinking prime or making their way back to their dorm room looking for the perfect opportunity to sneak their love for the evening into the comfort of their room. But for Timothy Carter, activities after midnight on Saturday were a bit more adventurous. Guided by the loving hand of his father, Timothy was lured home only to find daddy had flipped and that his basic survival instincts would be put to the test after his father turned the gun on him. 

Saturday evening Timothy Carter received a phone call from his father asking him to drive the 90 miles home from Radford University, simply stating his mother really needed to speak with him. Upon arriving at his parent’s house, William Carter lured his son into the basement of their ranch-style home where his mother, Bonnie (56), and his brother William Carter Jr. (28), lay dead on the floor. Seems like dad wasn’t so good at keeping his secret for his plans for Timothy as he quickly opened fire on him as well, shooting him in the back. Of course, the natural reaction would be an attempt to flee from the insanity, which he tried but his father was insistent he stay and shot him a second time. I can’t even begin to imagine the thoughts running through one’s mind in this situation and I’m sure Timothy had plenty, the best one being to play dead…which he did.

When William retreated away from the basement and into another portion of the house, Timothy was able to escape to safety at a neighbors where a call was placed to 911. The surviving son explained how his father had used trickery to lure him into the horrifying scene. As authorities arrived, the house was ablaze. The bodies of Bonnie and William Jr. were recovered, as well as William Sr. who had shot himself after attempting to create the family funeral pyre. The firearms were also recovered from the crime scene along with evidence of the premeditated murder-suicide in the form of a “putting final affairs in order” letter. Timothy is still hospitalized and listed in fair condition.
