Authorities in Succasunna are investigating a murder-suicide after the bodies of a family were discovered inside their home early Tuesday.
Officers made the horrifying find while conducting a welfare check at the Justine Place home, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office said. All the victims were shot dead.
Investigators believe that a father shot his wife and teenage son to death before turning the weapon on himself.
The Roxbury Police and the Morris County Sheriff's Office declined to reveal further details adding that an update will be made “at the appropriate time.”
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of the loss of one of our high school students,” the Roxbury Public Schools said in a notification to parents.
“The high school administration and staff have coordinated supports and resources for students and staff who may need them.”
