A harrowing Facebook post may provide answers for why a woman fatally shot three members of her family, including her father, before turning the gun on herself Tuesday in a murder-suicide that spanned three crime scenes.
Authorities have not released the identities or even a possible motive into the shooting in Lynn, Massachusetts, except to confirm police responded to a residence in Rockaway Street shortly before 2:55 p.m. after receiving reports of shots fired.
What authorities found at the residence were the bodies of a 66-year-old man and 34-year-old man. Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett confirmed a 31-year-old woman shot both men—her father and brother-in-law—before moving on and killing her brother-in-law’s 56-year-old father at a separate location. His body was found in a car outside his apartment. The woman then took her own life in her car at a parking lot at a local Stop & Shop. Her body was found at approximately 4:30 p.m. All three crime scenes are located within minutes of each other.
