Police in Chicago are investigating a quadruple homicide after officials said a mother and her three adult daughters were found fatally shot inside a home Sunday.
The domestic-related shooting took place in Tinley Park, a village in Cook County and a suburb of Chicago, Tinley Park Village Manager Pat Carr told USA TODAY Monday morning.
Carr said the suspect in the case dialed 911 about 11:20 a.m. Sunday and reported his wife had been shot.
Arriving officers entered the the home and discovered what Carr called "a horrible find."
