Grandmother finds her son, daughter-in-law and the couple's two young children, aged just two and four, dead in triple-murder suicide in Oklahoma
A couple and their two young children were found dead in an Oklahoma home Saturday in what police said appears to be a triple murder-suicide.
Police Capt. Todd Enzbrenner said the mother of the adult male victim arrived at the home in a mobile home park in Tulsa about 2:30 p.m. and found her son, her grandchildren and the children's mother dead.
She had been expecting to babysit the children but had been unable to reach anyone on the phone to confirm the plan, he told Tulsa World.
Enzbrenner said he did not know if a weapon was found in the residence and the causes of death have not been released. He said the victims' bodies were not found in one room but were 'all over the house'.
It is not clear who was responsible for the killing their family members.

The names of those killed have not been released but the children's mother was 41; their father was 31, police said.
Enzenbrenner said witnesses told police that they had heard a commotion at the victims' home between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Saturday, which he described as loud banging 'like furniture being thrown around'.
Police do not believe that there is any threat to the public.

Enzebrenner, who said he has been on the police force for 30 years, said he does not recall ever having a quadruple homicide in Sand Springs, a suburb of Tulsa.
He added: 'This is quite a tragedy for the community. It’s hard for the family. It’s hard for my officers. It’s hard for the medical staff.'
A murder occurred at the same mobile home park about 16 years ago, he told the newspaper.
