POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An 80-year-old man shot and killed
his wife and son before fatally shooting himself in their South
Florida home, sheriff's officials said Thursday.
Broward County sheriff's deputies went to the Pompano Beach home
on Wednesday evening to conduct a welfare check. They tried
several times to make contact with residents of the home, which
is about 8.4 miles (13.5 kilometers) north of Fort Lauderdale.
After receiving no response, the deputies asked a Pompano Beach
Fire Rescue crew to force their way inside the home, according
to Broward Sheriff's public information specialist Gerdy St.
Louis.
The three victims were pronounced dead on the scene, and the
sheriff's agency's homicide and crime scene units began an
investigation.
Officials did not release the ages of the wife and son.
