When talking about why he did this to investigators, Charlie said that he didn't really have much of a conscience.
He wanted to join the army because he was willing to do whatever was needed without thinking much about it.
He agreed to kill Aaron's parents because of the same logic.
It just needed to be done, so he was willing to do it.
Once inside the house, both Charlies snuck around carrying a .22 pistol and a samurai sword.
Once they reached the master bedroom, they started firing off shot after shot from the pistol, shooting Penny first multiple times, then Terry multiple more times.
They kept firing until the gun jammed, at which point Charlie handed the gun over to Wade who fixed the gun and fired off two more rounds.
They then left the room, but Charlie actually came back to cut Penny's throat with the sword to make sure that she was dead.
When he was sure that the parents were dead, Charlie instructed Wade to go get the kids because little ones talk.
Wade threatened to leave at that point because I guess $2,000 is enough to murder two adults, but children is where he crossed the line.
By that point, both Tyler and Matthew had woken up after hearing the gunshots.
They both called out for their parents then ran into Aaron's room to hide.
When Charlie got upstairs, he called out for the boys, telling them to go to their beds.
He said that he knew they were really scared and couldn't stand to look at their faces.
When Matthew got out of Aaron's room, he tried to fight Charlie off.
He was kicking and hitting him.
But Wade, who was still downstairs, saw what was going on,
So he shot him in the face all the way from downstairs.
Wade then came up and found Tyler who was absolutely terrified and hiding in the closet.
He and Charlie then both took turns stabbing him to death with the samurai sword.
