Four people were found shot dead Friday morning inside of a Georgia home, where police also discovered three terrified young children hiding in a closet.
The children were reportedly present when gunfire rang out around 2:30 a.m. at the home on Brook Ivy Court in Lawrenceville, a city about 30 miles northeast of Atlanta, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.
The children retreated to the closet to protect themselves and one of them managed to call 911,
When police arrived minutes later they found four adults inside dead with gunshot wounds, according to the Gwinnett County Police.
The children were found in the closet unharmed.
They were later picked up by a family member.
Their relationship to the victims was not immediately clear.
Police tracked down the suspect, whose vehicle was still in the victims’ driveway, to a woodline short distance from the home with K9 officers.
He was taken into custody without incident, cops said.
Neither the suspected gunman nor the victims have been identified.
The motive remains under investigation but the shooting “appears to be domestic related,” police said.
Police noted there had been prior calls for service at the household, according to Fox 5.
There are no outstanding suspects, cops confirmed.
