This is sick beyond words and the fact he was so casually murder his family and then spends the weekend tailgating and partying shows you what psychopath he is.
University of Oklahoma freshman Alan J. Hruby had come to like the finer things in life — flying first class, vacationing in Paris, high-end watches and staying at The Ritz-Carlton hotel.
But after his parents cut off his finances, he killed them — and his younger sister — for the family’s money, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
“He felt like if he murdered his mother, father and sister, he would be the only heir to their estate,” Stephens County District Attorney Jason Hicks said at a news conference. “They had had financial problems with him in the past. He couldn’t control his spending.”
Hruby, 19, was charged Wednesday with three counts of first-degree murder.
He shot his parents and sister Oct. 9, using a Walther PPS 9 mm pistol he stole from his father’s pickup, the prosecutor said. He disposed of the gun and surveillance recording equipment from the house in a Stephens County lake, Hicks said.
He then returned to OU and spent the weekend with friends in Dallas where OU played Texas on Saturday, Hicks said.
People many times associate violence with poor people, but these type of crimes from people who are financial secure happen more often than you think. Being sick in the head goes across all racial and economic boundaries. Prosecutors are considering the death penalty. I think it would be justified in this case.
