Tulsa Police Captain Matt McCord told reporters that officers
went to the home after receiving a call from the employer of the
man in the household, requesting they check up on the house.
Police found the bodies, all shot and killed, presumably by the
father given the proximity of the gun to his body, McCord told
reporters in a video published online by the Tulsa World
newspaper.
The killings may have occurred as many as two days before the
bodies were discovered, McCord said. Both of the boys were
younger than 10 years old and the bodies were found in separate
rooms, police said.
Local broadcaster KTUL said that the family's neighbors had no
indication there were any problems in the household prior to the
shooting.
"Our kids played with their boys all the time, and played with
them all day this last Saturday, we loved 'em," neighbor Stephen
Wiseman told KTUL.
