His mother-in-law, Terry Janway, his father-in-law, Jack Janway, and his nephew, Dalton, were shot and killed in their home in Oklahoma. Dalton was eleven years old.
According to a police report, the Muskogee, Oklahoma 911 center received a call at 9:05 Monday night.
At the other end of the line, a woman’s voice could be heard saying, “There’s been a disturbance and someone has a gun,” before quickly hanging up.
When officers arrived, they discovered a body lying in the hallway and determined that the person was dead. Soon after officers arrived, another shot rang out on the other side of the house.
After searching the entire house, police discovered two more remains, leading them to believe that three people had died.
