Authorities arrived at the house to find a gruesome scene: Faint cries for help led them to a 13-year-old sister of the boys who was stabbed several times, critically injured but alive. The parents, David and April Bever, and three children who were between the ages of 5 and 12, were dead.

“I was told knives, there was a hatchet, there was several different types of weapons that were actually used in the homicides,” said Cpl. Leon Calhoun of the Broken Arrow Police Department, according to KFOR.

Broken Arrow police have said the 13-year-old told them her brothers were responsible for the attack. A 2-year-old was also found in the house, unscathed.

Bloody footprints eventually led authorities to the two brothers, who allegedly fled out the back door when officers arrived.

“I don’t know if there was any remorse or anything going on at this point,” Calhoun added.
