Initially police officials gave Jason some time to grieve the shocking loss, but Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls revealed to PEOPLE that he sat down with the widower for an in-depth interview to go over the series of tragic events. During the interview, Jason told authorities that he and his wife, Christy, engaged in an explosive argument, in which he told her that he wanted a divorce.
Motivated by rage, Christy shot her daughters in cold blood following a fight. Christy pointed the gun at her family, as they were heard crying and pleading for their lives from a 911 call. Christy, who reportedly experienced a number of mental issues, shot and killed her daughters in order to teach her husband a lesson. Christy was shot and killed on the scene following the tragic deaths of Madison and Taylor.
