The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office said they got a call from a family member of the people who lived at the house around 3:00 p.m. saying they were concerned they hadn’t heard from them in the last 24 hours, reports DFWCBS.
When deputies arrived, they found two men and one woman dead of apparent gunshot injuries.
All three had been shot to death.
At least two of them lived at the home. Authorities have not officially disclosed any details on the victims’ relationships at this time.

“We’re not releasing any information related to the gunshot wounds at this time since it is an active investigation,” said David McClelland of the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office. “Looking at any possible situation and scenario that might be there as it relates to the evidence that we have.”
