The couple's teen son shot his head many times, revealing why they stood beside him after a brutal attack
Nathon Brooks of Lake Moses in Washington State took revolver from parents' guns at the age of 14. When they slept, they launched six bullets.
This brave family now shared my story about my new parents, I now have a new BBC 3 documentary that I can see on BBC iPlayer.
Nathon said in prison: "I went to the bedroom, raised the gun and pulled the trigger before I noticed what I did.
"I have opened it to my mother three times already, then I went to find my father, which I really clicked on what I did.
When John Brooks woke up in the pool of blood, he was worried that his family would be the victim of a brutal robbery.
He told the show: "Blood is from my face, in my eyes I can not see it, I am wiping it, then I'm flicking on the bed.
"As Nathon came into the room, I made him stand behind me, I pointed the gun at the entrance of my bedroom."
"When I entered the bedroom, I saw blood, beds, pillows on the floor, there were too many bloods in the blood - this is surreal."
The doctor was surprised that Beth survived. "I was struck through my fingers, then my fingers, and then my ears," she said.
"It hurt my eyes and ruined my hearing, my ear sounded awkward, my memory was very strong, I am still numb.
But the officials told him that the pictures they took from the inside camera showed that they were running around the panties while he had a gun.
"Everything is closed, I do not remember everything - it's just a blank, then I have a gun, it's empty, my mother and my father are bleeding."
Nathon was said to be a "good child" by his grandmother, and he said atrocities "are not completely compatible with his personality."
"I am standing at the bed, I remember I first gunned my mother, I do not know the reason," he said.
"I remember having these quick ideas," You do not have to do this, "but they are so fast and suddenly disappearing, I do not have the opportunity to think about it.
"I do not know why some people are happy, fortunate, exercising, suddenly erupting, growing up with good families.
His parents were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and they decided to nurture their son.
Beth said: "The worst thing is to find that he emptied the gun.I remember to find someone there, and absolutely my son. I really saw a nightmare. It was.
Jon added that "not at all" protects the couple. "My emotional pain is more than I started to explain," he said.
His parents know that he needs to be punished for what he has done, but he does not want to pronounce his sentences for him.
His therapist, Shana Schultz, called him introverted, later diagnosed as severe depression.
Nathon said: "I was diagnosed with severe depression, I know that there is nothing wrong with other, I can get help.
"This will help me understand what I did, there is anger and aggression, I do not understand why I treat it, I will get lost."
Beth is very outraged that "I do not know what he has experienced", he said, "I am very pleased that we will not die for Nathon.
Somehow, John Brooks was able to call 911 to report that he and his wife were shot. He did not know that a 14-year-old son just shot at them he told police operators that there was an intruder at home. The life of his son and a small daughter was horrible, calling them to their side and putting out a revolver under the mattress. As his child was behind him, his wife was still lying in bed, John Brooks was still afraid to awaken his child to awake to fire a gun .
My son Jasiu is 3 years old this year. He is a cool child, he is very energetic, smart and pleasant. He is still a child, he always sleeps in our bed, and it is always difficult for us to make him sleep on his bed.
