Two adults and three children were found dead with gunshot wounds in a Massachusetts home Monday, authorities said.
The five family members were found in an Abington condominium complex about 7:30am by a relative who showed up to take the children to school, Plymouth District Attorney Timothy Cruz said at a news conference.
"It's a crime, a crime occurred in that building. Three little children are gone forever," said Cruz, who also noted it appears they died of gunshot wounds.
