Three People Found Dead In Home

"HOPKINSVILLE, KY — Parents and their adult son were all found dead Saturday morning in Hopkinsville in what police are calling a murder-suicide. The investigation continues in determining who pulled the trigger and what went wrong.

"`The initial call came out as three people shot,` Hopkinsville Police Sergeant Kyle Spurlin said.

"Around 9:45 Saturday morning, Hopkinsville Police rushed to 309 Hillaire Drive.

"`We heard sirens. Police started pulling up, pulling rifles out of their cars,` neighbor John Kelly explained.

`"We weren't for sure if there might be people still inside the house that is still currently shooting,` Spurlin said, `or if somebody was injured inside the house.`

"A family member came to the house, made a gruesome discovery and called police. A short time later, all three people found inside were pronounced dead. Police say the son, who was in his mid 40's, lived with his elderly parents. Two dogs were taken away by animal control, one with a gunshot wound to its face. Both are expected to recover.

"Neighbors were shocked by the news and said they saw the elderly man often.

"`You don't meet people like that today. Nobody lends you a hand or whatever, and he would,` Kelly said.

"`Sweet loving man taking care of his family,` Josette Kelly added.

"Police believe the shooting happened earlier Saturday morning and investigators are not alone in wondering what went terribly wrong."
