Welfare check leads to grisly discovery of 3 bodies inside South Florida home

Three people were found shot dead inside a Pompano Beach, Florida home when deputies conducted a welfare check late Wednesday.

The grisly discovery was made at a home in a retirement community in the 300 block of South Golf Boulevard at around 7 p.m.

Broward County Sheriff’s deputies and fire crews forced entry to the home where they found three people dead from gunshot wounds.

While authorities work to officially identify the three victims, a neighbor said the home’s residents were a couple and their son.

The neighbors said the family’s cars have not moved in several days. The family had been renting the residence for about a year.

“The whole thing is just shocking,” the neighbor said. “You live next to people for a year and you have no idea.”
