A West Virginia man is behind bars after he allegedly tried to kill his parents. Authorities said that Johnny Carson York Jr., 45, got into an argument with them after he was asked to put some items back in the shed before it started to rain.
The request apparently set him off, and he threw a lighter at his parents before chasing them around the house with a maul. His parents managed to hide and called 911.
While they were hiding, York grabbed a bow and arrow and tried to shoot his parents. Officers arrived at the home and took York into custody without incident.
While he was being questioned about what happened, York told investigators: "I had to kill them to get the demons out. "He also said that he feels "like I have to kill everyone I see."
According to WVNS, a family member said they had taken out a Domestic Violence Prevention Order against York earlier in the day after broke a television in the house. That order had not been served before the alleged attack.
York was taken to jail and booked on charges of malicious assault, brandishing, and destruction of property.
