"Those People Were The Quietest Folks"


"YULEE, FL — The Nassau County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate a murder-suicide that took place in Yulee on Saturday night.

"Neighbors [said] shots were fired at 85080 Theresa Road.

"The identities of the people involved have not been released.

"One neighbor [said] there were problems at the home before. Cathy Johns said last month her neighbor came to her looking for help.

"`She came about two weeks ago to my door, crying. She was speaking to a lady on the telephone. She said she was having trouble with her husband,` Johns said.

"Johns and other residents on Theresa Road said the house became a crime scene Saturday night.

"Johns said her son heard a gunshot while helping her unload groceries.

"`When he went to the truck he heard 'pow.' He said, 'Momma, somebody got shot!' So I went in the house and he told, 'Don't come outside. Don't come outside.' So I stayed in the house,` Johns said.

"`They said, 'Get your children in the house. Someone has a gun,'` said neighbor Janet Baylor.

"Baylor said police were all over the street, warning people to stay inside.

"`It's very unsettling that that could happen right next door to you," Baylor said. `Those people were the quietest folks. No problems, you know, that we knew. Never bothered anyone.`

"Sheriff Tommy Seagraves told us his new office will not release any new information until Monday."
