Texas Teen William Quince Colburn, Kills Entire Family Then Commits Suicide

Teen Shoots Entire Family Dead & Posts Photos Of Their Bodies On Social Media Before Ending His Life

William “Quince” Colburn III,15, uploaded the photos of his families bodies to a group on social media and added that he wanted to continue the violence at an unnamed school, according to the New York PostNew York Post.

Aransas Police were notified about the posts and rushed over to the teen’s RV home where they tried to convince him to come outside and surrender.

Moments later, Colburn III ended his own life. While searching the home, police found the bodies of 63-year-old William Colburn Jr., Jana Colburn,53; Emma Colbun, 13, and Colburn III. Investigators also found the bodies of two dogs in the RV, authorities said.

Police said that if it weren’t for the “speedy action” of the social media site and the other teen members of the group where the threat was posted, “we might well have been working on an even more tragic event later this morning.”

Mahria Batts said she learned about her family’s tragic deaths on her mother’s birthday and planned to call her the same morning Colburne III committed the murder-suicide.

‘This morning, we all woke up excited to tell our Mother a Happy 53rd Birthday. Instead, we were devastated with news that has broken us to our core. As you can imagine, this is hard for us right now,’ she said.

‘This is not something we ever imagined to happen. We were not prepared for one loss, yet alone our. We are hurt. We do not understand. We are lost. We are angry.’ Batts wrote on a GoFundMe page.
