The motive for the shooting remains under investigation, athough the Sheriff’s records show that deputies had been sent to the family home in the past on more than one occasion. “But as to why we were called here, I don’t know,” County Sheriff Troy Nehls, said. The police think “It was a family argument that turned into a shooting.”  Nehls said “But we’re still trying to put the pieces together.”

So far, the police are yet to confirm if the shooting actually occured inside the family’s home or on the street where the bodies were found.
Detectives said the woman’s husband was in the home at the time of the shooting and ran to the neighbor’s for help.  The distraught husband who was not injured was taken to a local hospital for observation. A handgun was recovered from the scene and police are investigating if the mother fired at responding officers before she was shot.
