A Florida man armed with an weapon that had once been banned under federal law forced his wife to watch as he strangled one of his sons and then shot a second before turning a gun on himself.

Victoria Flores Zavala told Boynton Beach police that 45-year-old Isidro Zavala went to her home on Saturday with a plan to kill her and their two boys because she had filed for divorce last year, according to WTVJ. But Isidro Zavala decide to spare his wife at the last minute so she could suffer while watching him murder 12-year-old Eduardo Zavala and 11-year-old Mario Zavala.

“What Mrs. Zavala had to go through — watch her children killed before her — is probably the most horrific thing you could ever imagine, at least for me,” Boynton Beach Police Chief G. Matthew Immler explained at a press conference.

“She tried fighting him off and begged him to kill her and not the children,” he explained. “He told her she was going to stay alive and suffer the loss of them.”

5. What a stupid woman

She should have armed herself with a bazooka and given uzis to her sons and this would never have happened.

6. For once I'd like one of these psychos to do it in reverse.

Turn the gun on himself first.
Poor woman.

I knew a girl about 35 years ago who had something like this happen to her. Her estranged husband took her young son and both her parents out on some railroad tracks and killed them, then himself. Sad.
