About ten minutes later, officers received another call for someone with a weapon at a home.

When police arrived to the second house, three children were found dead, and a 45 year old was injured.

The children were six, seven and 12 years old.

Police also found the 44 year old shooter, who appeared to have been killed by a self-inflicted gunshot.
