Three killed in alleged family feud
Angry that her parents demanded she break up with her boyfriend, a 16-year-old helped kill her mother and two younger brothers during a grisly ambush on the family’s wooded home in Emory, about 60 miles northeast of Dallas, authorities said.
The girl, whose name is not being released, joined her boyfriend and two others in shooting and stabbing members of the Caffey family in their bedrooms before setting the house on fire, authorities said.
The lone survivor was Terry Caffey, the father, who was shot five times. The dead were Penny Caffey, 37, and sons Tyler, 8, and Mathew, 13.
