The Sesler family murders took place on March 20, 2012, when Trey Eric Sesler, a 22-year-old YouTuber, shot and killed his two parents and older brother in Waller, Texas. He had planned to perpetrate a school shooting at Waller High School after murdering his family.[2][3] Police were called to the family home at 1 p.m. the same day and found the bodies of his mother Rhonda Sesler, his father Lawton Sesler and his brother Mark Sesler.[4][5] Investigators say that Sesler was heavily inspired by the Columbine High School massacre.[6]
