NEWPORT, N.C. (AP) - Authorities say a fight between two brothers-in-law in a home in eastern North Carolina left three people dead in a murder-suicide.
The Carteret County Sheriff’s Office tells The Daily News of Jacksonville that the two men and a woman were shot and killed Wednesday
The newspaper reports that a news release from the sheriff’s office says two sisters and their husbands lived in the home. Detectives learned the men got into a fight that ended with the homeowner shooting the other couple before he died by suicide.
The sheriff’s office says the wife of the man identified as the killer wasn’t harmed.
Authorities hadn’t released the names of the victims because family hasn’t been notified.
