Goodlettsville murder-suicide: ‘Dad shoots and kills wife and daughters, 13 and 6’ before turning gun on himself
A DAD allegedly shot his wife and two young daughters dead before turning the gun on himself.
The man called 911 just before 6.30am on Friday morning to tell dispatchers that he had shot his wife and kids, Nashville Police spokesperson Brooke Reese said.
Dispatchers tried to work to keep the man on the phone and negotiate with him while cops rushed to the scene.
An off-duty police officer who was on his way home arrived at the Goodlettsville home and tried to talk to the man over a PA system to get him to surrender.
However, the officer then heard a single gunshot inside the home at 6.38am and found the man dead in the living room.
The officer then found the six-year-old girl dead with a gunshot wound in a bedroom, before coming across the teen and wife.
Both were alive when they were found, however, the 13-year-old was pronounced dead on arrival to a hospital and the woman died later in surgery.
His two daughters were six and 13 years old, and his wife was 32. The man himself was also 32.
