Law enforcement documents show that Kaylor and Kaylie got into an argument with their neighbors on Sunday evening about the alleged indecent exposure and lack of consequences for the accused son.
According to the affidavit, Kaylie told police she was standing near her husband when she heard gunshots and saw two of the victims fall to the ground.
Kaylie told police that Kaylor said he did what he had to do and to tell their kids he protected them, per the documents. Kaylor told authorities he “snapped” and “lost it” before refusing to talk and requesting a lawyer, according to the affidavit.
The documents also allege that Kaylor shot each of the victims once except Devin who was shot multiple times at close range.
Kaylor appeared in court on Tuesday, according to local news stationKHQ, and kept his head bowed as the judge read the victim’s names.
Idaho prosecutor Ben Allen requested bail be no less than $1 million due to his prior criminal history and a misdemeanor battery and drug charge, but the judge ultimately set no bail, according to KHQ.
