Murder-suicide of six family members in Allen, Texas

Officers arrived at a house in Allen, Texas, on Monday morning to find six family members dead, all reportedly with gunshot wounds.

Police confirmed that they arrived at the house after receiving a call from a family friend who said they were concerned. The caller said that they believed at least one person in the house was suicidal.

The victims include two teenage brothers, a sister, their father and mother and a grandmother and reportedly aged from 19-years-old to a grandmother, whose age cannot be confirmed as of now.

Police, in a statement, said that that the two teenage boys were responsible for killing their parents, sister and grandmother.

“Apparently two brothers made an agreement to commit suicide and ended up taking the entire family with them,” Sargent Jon Felty has stated.

According to the police, a social media post by one of the victims said that he made a pact with his brother to kill his family and commit suicide.

However, an exact motive has not been declared at this time. Police believe that the slayings happened over the weekend.
