On Friday, police responded to a 911 call at a residence and discovered "three unresponsive victims, each suffering from a gunshot wound," police stated on its official Facebook page.

"Our oldest grandson sadly took the lives of his mother and brother and then took his own life," according to the site. "This Johnson/Flores family now rests in peace and will be deeply missed by all."
