The boy told 911 dispatch that his parents had begun fighting telling them that there was a gun and shooting involved. When officers arrived at the house, they found the bodies of Peggy and Daryl Brooks in the yard. Cops are still looking into a murder suicide but nothings is confirmed yet.
The 14 year old boy was not harmed in the fighting. However he may suffer from physchological issues in the coming months. There was no word whether Peggy and Daryl Brooks had any other children or what will happen to the boy. Initially the couple’s son was put in the care of child protective services while they try to find out-of-state relatives.
Again it is sad to see that parents don’t have any regard for their children or their actions. Now there is at least one child whose life will be completey turned upside down. More on this story will be released as the investigation continues.
In regards to Peggy Brooks being murdered by her husband. I’m sure that if Peggy could have prevented this incident from happening she would have. Peggy was very respected by her coworkers. She loved life, her family and her job. It is unfortunate that people speak before thinking when they don’t even know the persons involved. Our prayers go out to Josh and Peggy’s family. We can only pray that Josh is able to move on to have as normal a life as possible.
Our little community were all shocked by what happened with Peg & Daryl. He was always happy go lucky running up and down the road in his golfcart or on his kabota tactor. They were so into sports with Josh. None of us can even understand how something like this could happen.
We only hope that Josh can move on in time with support and love from his extended family.
Josh you are in our thoughts and prayers.
