Police responding to the scene late Saturday found five people, including three children, dead of gunshot wounds. The teen's mother was discovered on the doorstep, said Conklin. Inside the home, police found the bodies of two girls in a bedroom, apparently asleep in their beds.

Nowadays you have teens, mothers and fathers all going off on each other and at times with tragic conclusions like this family.
