A quintuple homicide allegedly carried out by two brothers has stunned residents of a usually peaceful Oklahoma community.
The pair accused of stabbing to death their parents and three siblings in the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow were not allowed to play with other children in the community, according to one neighbor.
Bill Whitworth, whose son went to school with 18-year-old suspect Robert Bever, said the family kept to themselves.
"My son never had an opportunity to play with him because their parents wouldn't allow them to play with the other kids," the 46-year-old told The Associated Press late Thursday. The only time Whitworth saw the family was when he "saw the Suburban backing out of the driveway," he said.
Another neighbor, Patricia Statham, said: "I feel so bad for everyone who walks into that house. You can see it in the faces of the officers when they come out."
The 74-year-old added: "Usually the worst thing we have here is kids with baseball bats destroying mailboxes."
One of the two victims who survived the incident, a 13-year-old girl who made the silent 911 call that alerted police, remained in a critical but stable condition early Friday having suffered severe stab wounds.
Robert Bever, along with his 16-year-old brother, who authorities have not publicly identified because of his age, allegedly ran out the back door when officers arrived. They were tracked by a police dog unit to a wooded area behind the house and arrested, officials said.
Bever's mugshot shows him with a dirty face and ruffled hair. "It looks like he's got a smirk on his face to me," Broken Arrow Police Cpl. Leon Calhoun told NBC News.
Among the five people found dead at the scene were the brothers' parents, 52-year-old David Bever and 44-year-old April Bever, and three of their siblings, a 5-year-old girl, a 7-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy.
A 2-year-old girl was found unharmed and taken into state custody.

His hair is disheveled, there's dirt on his face, and in his eyes, a calmness, and his mouth...
"Looked to me like he had a smirk on his face," said Corporal Leon Calhoun of the Broken Arrow police department.
Law enforcement sources say one of the siblings has given a full confession, stating that the murders were planned and that the killing wasn't supposed to end at the home. The confession, News Channel 8 has been told, was given matter of factly, with no hint of compassion or remorse.
"I don't know if there was any remorse or anything going on at this point," said Calhoun.
The homicides themselves, a brutal rampage of violence.
"I was told knives, there was a hatchet, there was several different types of weapons that were actually used in the homicides," said Calhoun.
"She said that he was very sweet, very kind."
And yet that is a description of the same Robert Bever known to Billie Paolini's daughter.
"Loved his family. Even walked to Walmart to buy them Christmas presents from here which is quite a ways," she said.
But nowhere near as far as the journey from loving son to murder suspect.
"I just don't know how if he's even comprehending what has happened or if he is really, is so removed that he cant feel remorse. It's unknown," said Calhoun.
