Authorities in New York are looking into a probable murder-suicide that killed four families on Thursday at various places throughout Newstead.
Deputies from the Eerie County Sheriff's Office discovered the remains of two males at Ten X Outdoor Shooting Club about 11 a.m.
According to reports, the deceased were relatives. Before killing the other, one of them shot him.
Deputies came shortly after to reports of two deceased ladies in separate places. They were recognized as relatives of the other two fatalities.
"This is a family tragedy," stated Eerie County Sheriff John Garcia. "It's a dreadful, dreadful event for everyone."
County Legislator Christopher Greene called the massacre "tragic."
"I'm not sure of the circumstances, but it's luckily quite unusual." Nobody in their right mind does this," Greene explained.
